Resolves #11352.

Description

What is the purpose of this pull request?

This pull request:

• migrates blas/base/cscal tests (test.cscal.js and test.ndarray.js) from EPS-based tolerance checks to ULP-based assertions using @stdlib/number/float32/base/assert/is-almost-same-value.
• uses a single named constant ULP = 5 in each file. The measured minimum over the full fixture set is 5 (4 fails in test.ndarray.js; 5 passes). Results were identical across two runs.
• leaves test.cscal.native.js and test.ndarray.native.js unchanged, as the native addon could not be built in the environment used to author this PR, so a native ULP bound could not be measured.

⚠️ Issue Reference Review

An automated check found potentially unrelated issue/PR references in this PR:

Reference	Assessment	Reasoning
#11352	suspicious	PR migrates tests for blas/base/cscal, but the issue is a tracking issue for migrating math/base/special packages to ULP-based testing. It is also referenced with Resolves, which would close the tracking issue on merge.

Why this matters: GitHub automatically closes issues referenced with
closing keywords (Resolves, Closes, Fixes) when the PR is merged. Incorrect
references can accidentally close unrelated issues.

What to do:

  false positives.
• If the reference is incorrect, please update your PR description.

Closing as superseded: blas/base/cscal was already migrated to ULP-based assertions in #16288 (eeebc88f67), and the package tests on develop now exclusively use the new convention. Thank you for working on this!
