[https://octave.discourse.group/t/figure-cannot-be-maximized/5066 As reported
over on discourse], attempting to use the 'WindowState' property for figures
seems to have no effect, whether during creation or later using the set
command. 

Tested on Windows with Octave 8.4.0 and 9.0.1 (hg id: 14cb31ec0251), as well
as on Ubuntu with 9.0.0 (hg id: 4f09c1b4148).

the following commands all produce a normally sized figure window:


figure (1, "windowstate", "maximized") %new named fig
figure ("windowstate", "maximized") %new fig unnamed
figure (1, "windowstate", "maximized") %new fig into existing fig


similarly:

a = figure;
set (a, "windowstate", "maximized")


fails to change the state of the window.  same behavior for "minimized", and
"fullscreen".  Tested on single and multiple monitor setups in case the latter
was causing the problem.

can anyone verify if this behavior is a regression or was it always
nonfunctional parameter?
