/**
* Broadcasts ndarrays to a common shape.
*
* ## Notes
*
* -   The function throws an error if provided broadcast-incompatible ndarrays.
* -   The returned arrays are **read-only** views on their respective underlying array data buffers. The views are typically **not** contiguous. As more than one element of a returned view may refer to the same memory location, writing to a view may affect multiple elements. If you need to write to an input array, copy the array before broadcasting.
* -   The function always returns new ndarray instances even if an input ndarray shape and the broadcasted shape are the same.
*
* @param arrays - input arrays
* @throws input arrays must be broadcast compatible
* @returns list of broadcasted arrays
*
* @example
* var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/array' );
* var zeros = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/zeros' );
*
* var x1 = array( [ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ] ] );
* // returns <ndarray>
*
* var shx = x1.shape;
* // returns [ 2, 2 ]
*
* var y1 = zeros( [ 3, 2, 2 ] );
* // returns <ndarray>
*
* var shy = y1.shape;
* // returns [ 3, 2, 2 ]
*
* var out = broadcastArrays( [ x1, y1 ] );
* // returns [ <ndarray>, <ndarray> ]
*
* var x2 = out[ 0 ];
* // returns <ndarray>
*
* var y2 = out[ 1 ];
* // returns <ndarray>
*
* shx = x2.shape;
* // returns [ 3, 2, 2 ]
*
* shy = y2.shape;
* // returns [ 3, 2, 2 ]
*
