I like np.broadcast_to as a new function. We can document it alongside
broadcast and broadcast_arrays under array manipulation routines, which
would make it at least as discoverable as the standard broadcasting
functions.

I'm not opposed to adding extra_shapes as a keyword argument to
broadcast_arrays, but it seems unnecessarily complex, Implementation wise,
I think it would actual make more sense to make broadcast_arrays depend on
broadcast_to (e.g., by composing a function to calculate the broadcast
shape with broadcast_to).
