test: migrate stats/base/dists/gumbel/quantile to ULP-based assertions

[kgryte]

Resolves a part of #11352.

Description

What is the purpose of this pull request?

This pull request:

• migrates the tests for stats/base/dists/gumbel/quantile from relative tolerance testing to ULP difference testing, per [RFC]: Migrate math/base/special packages from relative tolerance testing to ULP difference testing (tracking issue) #11352.

The computed delta/tol comparisons in the fixture loops of test/test.quantile.js, test/test.factory.js, and test/test.native.js are replaced with isAlmostSameValue( y, expected[ i ], 0 ) assertions, and the now-unused @stdlib/math/base/special/abs and @stdlib/constants/float64/eps requires are dropped in favor of @stdlib/assert/is-almost-same-value. No other test cases were touched; the exact comparisons elsewhere in these files are unchanged. test/test.js contains no tolerance-based assertions and is therefore unmodified.

The ULP bound is the measured minimum over each full fixture set:

Fixture	Measured max ULP diff	ULP bound
fixtures/julia/positive_mean.json	0	0
fixtures/julia/negative_mean.json	0	0
fixtures/julia/large_variance.json	0	0

Each fixture set contains 1000 cases. Every value returned by all three implementations under test (lib/main.js, lib/factory.js, and the C implementation in src/main.c) is bit-identical to the Julia reference value across all 3000 cases, so the measured minimum is 0 ULP and the same bound is used in all three test files. Because 0 is the floor for an integer ULP bound, there is no tighter value to check.

This is consistent with the implementations: both the JS and the C versions compute mu - beta*ln( -ln( p ) ) using stdlib's own ln, and no divergence was observed.

Note that the previous bounds were 1.0 * EPS in test.quantile.js and test.factory.js and 50.0 * EPS in test.native.js; the uniform 0 ULP bound is tighter than all three, and in particular substantially tightens the native tests.

Other

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

• make test TESTS_FILTER=".*/stats/base/dists/gumbel/quantile/.*" is green, with the native add-on built locally so that test/test.native.js is actually exercised rather than skipped (3018 + 3015 + 3 + 3015 assertions passing). The suite was run twice at the final bound with identical results both times, so the 0 ULP bound is not sensitive to FMA contraction on this platform.
• make lint-javascript-tests TESTS_FILTER=".*/stats/base/dists/gumbel/quantile/.*" is clean.
• The idiom mirrors the already-converted sibling packages stats/base/dists/gumbel/logpdf and stats/base/dists/lognormal/quantile.
