test: migrate blas/base/dspmv to ULP-based assertions

[kgryte]

Resolves a part of #11352.

Description

What is the purpose of this pull request?

This pull request:

• migrates the blas/base/dspmv tests from relative tolerance testing to ULP difference testing.
• replaces the isApprox helper's rtol (relative tolerance) parameter with a ulp (maximum allowed ULP difference) parameter, backed by @stdlib/assert/is-almost-same-value, and drops the now unused @stdlib/constants/float64/eps and @stdlib/math/base/special/abs requires.
• updates the 10 affected test cases in each of test/test.dspmv.js and test/test.ndarray.js (20 call sites in total) to assert t.strictEqual( isAlmostSameValue( actual[ i ], expected[ i ], ulp ), true, 'returns expected value' ).

Final ULP constant: ULP = 0 in all 20 converted test cases.

The bound was tightened empirically. Starting from ULP = 64 and stepping down, the suite remains green all the way to ULP = 0, which is the floor. Instrumenting the comparison with @stdlib/number/float64/base/ulp-difference confirms why: across the complete fixture set (both row-major and column-major fixtures, all stride and offset access patterns), every returned element is bit-for-bit equal to its expected value, so the measured maximum ULP difference is 0. No fixture element pairs -0 with +0, so the stricter signed-zero semantics of isAlmostSameValue do not change any outcome relative to the previous actual[ i ] === expected[ i ] fast path.

The full package suite (make test TESTS_FILTER=".*/blas/base/dspmv/.*") was run twice at the final bound with identical results (97, 97, and 5 passing assertions), confirming the bound is deterministic rather than architecture-dependent. The package has no native tests, so no JS/C divergence applies here.

make eslint-tests TESTS_FILTER=".*/blas/base/dspmv/.*" reports the same single pre-existing stdlib/no-empty-lines-between-requires error that develop already reports for these files, and no new lint problems. Only the two test files are changed.

Other

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

• The named ULP constant idiom follows the existing converted packages in this family (e.g., blas/base/drot, blas/base/drotm, blas/base/dzasum), which likewise declare var ULP; per test case and assign the minimum required value.
• ULP = 0 also matches established precedent, being already used in 76 converted test files across the repository.
