removes the last element from an array and returns that removed element

- array required `array` Input pin for the array from which the item will be removed.

- updated array `v13.0.7` `array` Output pin for the updated array after removing the item from the bottom.

Removes the LAST element of a copy of the array; the input is not mutated. array_updated (and the deprecated array pin) carry the remaining elements; the type-selected out pin and the deprecated item pin carry the removed element. On an empty or non-array input the removed value is null and the updated array is empty. When the selected type is array, the removed element is emitted on the array-named pin INSTEAD of the legacy remainder output.
