test: migrate stats/base/dists/hypergeometric/skewness 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/hypergeometric/skewness 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.
• replaces the delta/tol/EPS tolerance arithmetic in test/test.js and test/test.native.js with isAlmostSameValue( y, expected[ i ], 1 ), adding the @stdlib/assert/is-almost-same-value require and dropping the now unused @stdlib/math/base/special/abs and @stdlib/constants/float64/eps requires.

Only the two test files are changed; no source, fixture, or package metadata was touched.

ULP bound

The final ULP constant is 1 for both test/test.js and test/test.native.js, and this is the measured minimum:

• Over the full 100-value Julia fixture set (test/fixtures/julia/data.json), 66 values are bit-for-bit exact and the remaining 34 differ by exactly 1 ULP. The maximum observed ULP difference is therefore 1, for both the JavaScript and the native (C addon) implementations.
• Tightening to 0 fails 34 of the 120 assertions in test/test.js, confirming 1 is the minimum bound which passes.
• The suite was run twice at the final bound with the native addon built locally; both runs were green and identical (test.js: 120/120, test.native.js: 108/108), so there is no FMA/arch-dependent flakiness at this bound.
