As recently discussed in #5810, the deprecation of broadcasting + and - for arrays and scalars, while theoretically removing some ambiguity for the case of matrix+scalar (though it is not clear that this has ever been a problem in practice), seems to cause more annoyance than it is worth, and will be a continual headache for users migrating from NumPy, Matlab, etc.

This patch restores those functions.

Okay to merge, as per apparent consensus in #5810?

Any reason for these not to be AbstractArrays?

No, they can be AbstractArrays. I made them StridedArrays just to match the definitions of .+ etc.
