Use inputs with stable nearest-codebook choices.

Casting x and the codebook to float16 or bfloat16 changes their values. If an input is near a codebook boundary, the nearest index can change even though quantize works correctly. For example, with codebook values 0 and 2, a float32 input of 1.0001 selects 2; casting the input to float16 makes it 1, which selects 0 on a tie. Replace the random comparison with fixed inputs and codebook weights that have a clear distance margin. Otherwise, this test can fail intermittently. (docs.pytorch.org)

74 - 82:
Replace the random input in the EMAQuantizer dtype test with fixed inputs and
codebook weights whose nearest-codebook choices have a clear margin after
float16 or bfloat16 casting. Keep the dtype assertion and index comparison so
the test still verifies stable quantization across dtypes.
