test: migrate stats/base/dists/weibull/stdev 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 @stdlib/stats/base/dists/weibull/stdev from relative-tolerance assertions to ULP-based assertions using @stdlib/assert/is-almost-same-value, per the guidance in [RFC]: Migrate math/base/special packages from relative tolerance testing to ULP difference testing (tracking issue) #11352.
• updates both test/test.js and test/test.native.js to mirror the idiom used in previously converted packages (e.g. stats/base/dists/chi/stdev, stats/base/dists/erlang/stdev, stats/base/dists/frechet/variance).
• replaces the previous 170.0 * EPS * abs( expected[ i ] ) (test/test.js) and 180.0 * EPS * abs( expected[ i ] ) (test/test.native.js) tolerance loops with t.strictEqual( isAlmostSameValue( y, expected[ i ], 277 ), true, 'returns expected value' ).
• drops the now-unused @stdlib/math/base/special/abs and @stdlib/constants/float64/eps requires.

The tightest ULP bound was determined empirically by measuring the maximum ULP difference over the full 500-value Julia fixture set:

• test/test.js: N = 277 ULP. The measured maximum ULP difference over the fixtures is exactly 277; the worst case is k = 10.905349225171449, lambda = 1.9805794474478602, where stdev( k, lambda ) returns 0.2095944993595373 against an expected value of 0.20959449935952962. Lowering the bound to 276 fails that fixture, so 277 is the minimum passing integer.
• test/test.native.js: N = 277 ULP. The native add-on was built locally for this package, and the maximum ULP difference for the C implementation over the same fixtures is likewise exactly 277, so the bound matches the JavaScript implementation.

Both test/test.js and test/test.native.js were run twice at the final N = 277 (514 assertions each, all passing, with the native add-on built so the native tests were not skipped) to confirm the bound is deterministic.

Only the two test files are changed.

Disclosure

This PR was authored by Claude Code (Anthropic) running as an unattended scheduled task. The conversion mirrors the exact idiom used in previously merged ULP migrations authored by the PR author (e.g. #14447, #14457), and the ULP bound was measured empirically against the existing Julia fixtures and confirmed tight (276 fails, 277 passes) for both the JavaScript and the locally built C implementation.
