Description

Currently non of the linalg gufuncs accept an out= kwarg. It seems most of the ufuncs do accept an out arg, we should be consistent with our function interfaces

Research direction

Start by locating the linalg gufunc implementations and their existing tests, then compare how NumPy ufuncs handle the out= keyword. The work is done when the relevant linalg gufuncs consistently accept and apply out=, with tests covering the new interface and its results.
