Use 1e-3 absolute delta for all half normalize calls, consistent with other half geometric tests (length, distance).

The normalize operation chains three half-precision rounding steps (dot product -> rsqrt -> per-component multiply), each introducing up to 1 ULP of error. At the output values (~0.18 to ~0.89), 1 ULP in half precision is already in the range ~1.7e-4 to ~6.6e-4, so tolerances of 1e-4 or tighter are too close to or below 1 ULP and risk false failures. 1e-3 is the minimum round tolerance that sits comfortably above the 1 ULP range at these values and covers the rounding differences observed on Adreno GPU.
