Type definitions for matrixFrom*

Replaces #3146.

I couldn't figure out how to push a commit to the source branch of #3146, so I have simply recreated the PR from a branch in my fork, with one additional commit updating the type declarations and adding tests as requested in the review for #3146. Should hopefully be ready to merge.

Resolves #3115.

The lint errors in this PR look very strange to me; they seem to be generated by prettier. Did mathjs recently change to prettier from eslint, or did I accidentally pick up some configuration change by trying to build on Hudsxn's version of develop? @josdejong please make sure all is well with lint before merging, thanks.

Thanks Glen!

mathjs currently has an eslint setup which uses prettier under the hood, see https://github.com/josdejong/mathjs/blob/develop/.eslintrc.cjs#L40. I find it a bit confusing setup, maybe some day we can replace it with biome for example, I kind of have the idea that the development around eslint is stalling, I regularly have issues not being able to update because certain eslint plugins require an old version of eslint. Anyway, that's for another day.
