test: migrate stats/incr/mcovariance to ULP-based assertions

[Planeshifter]

Description

What is the purpose of this pull request?

This pull request:

• migrates stats/incr/mcovariance tests (test/test.js) from EPS/tolerance-based comparisons to ULP-based assertions using @stdlib/assert/is-almost-same-value, with the ULP count passed inline as an integer literal.
• fixes the PRNG seed for the generated datasets (123456 instead of randu.seed) so results are deterministic, and removes now-unused tol/EPS/abs declarations.

Final inline ULP values (measured minimum that passes; suite run twice for determinism):

Test	ULP
moving unbiased sample covariance (unknown means), generated datasets	8192
moving unbiased sample covariance (known means), generated datasets	1674
current covariance when no input provided (unknown means)	2
current covariance when no input provided (known means)	0

Disclosure

If you answered "yes" to using AI assistance, please provide a short disclosure indicating how you used AI assistance. This helps reviewers determine how much scrutiny to apply when reviewing your contribution. Example disclosures: "This PR was written primarily by Claude Code." or "I consulted ChatGPT to understand the codebase, but the proposed changes were fully authored manually by myself.".

This PR was written by Claude Code as an automated routine; ULP bounds were found by automated search against the test suite. Local editorconfig pre-commit lint could not run in the sandbox (binary download blocked), so hooks were skipped.
