Resolves a part of #11352.

Description

What is the purpose of this pull request?

This pull request:

• migrates test/test.logpdf.js, test/test.factory.js, and test/test.native.js of stats/base/dists/laplace/logpdf from relative tolerance (EPS-based) assertions to ULP difference assertions via @stdlib/assert/is-almost-same-value.
• replaces the delta/tol tolerance branch (previously tol = 1.0 * EPS * abs( expected[ i ] )) with t.strictEqual( isAlmostSameValue( y, expected[ i ], 0 ), true, 'returns expected value' ), retaining the existing expected[ i ] !== null guard.
• removes the now-unused abs and EPS requires and the corresponding delta/tol variable declarations.

Final ULP constant: 0, for all three test suites (main, factory, and native).

The bound was tightened empirically. Starting from a high value and searching downward via a per-case minimum-ULP computation over the full fixture set (positive_mean.json, negative_mean.json, and large_variance.json; 3000 fixture cases in total), the measured maximum ULP difference is 0 — every fixture value is reproduced bit-for-bit — so 0 is the minimum value at which the suites pass.

Other

Any other information relevant to this pull request? This may include screenshots, references, and/or implementation notes.

• The native add-on was built locally (make install-node-addons NODE_ADDONS_PATTERN="stats/base/dists/laplace/logpdf") so that test/test.native.js actually executed rather than being skipped; the native implementation also matches the fixtures exactly (max ULP difference 0).
• The package test suite was run twice at the final ULP value to confirm determinism: 3015/3015 assertions passing in test.logpdf.js, 3018/3018 in test.factory.js, and 3015/3015 in test.native.js on both runs.
• make lint-javascript-tests TESTS_FILTER=".*/stats/base/dists/laplace/logpdf/.*" is clean.
• No files other than the three test files were changed.
