Make mad() actually follow the definition of median absolute deviation as it is generally defined (eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_absolute_deviation, scipy, matlab, mathematica, ...).

Obviously breaking. Are there any other breaking fixes that could go into the next StatsBase version?

See #905, #97, #347 for more context.
