Fix float64 comparison test failure on archs using FMA (#1133)
* Fix float64 comparison test failure on archs using FMA

Architectures using FMA optimization yield slightly different results so
we cannot assume floating point values will be precisely the same across
different architectures.

The solution in this change is to check "abs(a-b) < tolerance" instead
of comparing the exact values. This will give us confidence that the
histogram buckets are near identical.

* copy float compare dependency

Per discussion in the pull request, we'd like to avoid having an extra
dependency on a float comparison package. Instead, we copy the float compare
functions from the float comparison package.

The float comparison package we're choosing is this. The author of this
package has commented in the pull request and it looks like we have consensus
that this is the best option.

* remove float32 variant, relocate into separate file

This change removes the float32 variant of the AlmostEqual funcs, that we will
likely never use. This change also relocates the function into a separate file
to avoid modifying a file that's a fork of another vendored package.
