ENH: Add GradientImageFilter::OverrideBoundaryCondition(std::unique_ptr)

Added `GradientImageFilter::OverrideBoundaryCondition` overload, to allows
specifying the argument by a `unique_ptr`. Aims to make it more clear that the
filter takes the ownership of the specified `BoundaryCondition` object.
