TST make test_forest robust to platform variability
Under linux 32 bit test_boston fails because the score is slightly below 0.95. This could come from the fact the upcasting from float to double variables in C (generated from Cython code in this case) can yield different values when compiled to run under different bitness of the Linux runtime environment. Those small discrepancies can accumulate when computing the criterion or threshold values. This part of the Cython code is not enough unittested to make it easy to exactly pinpoint the exact location where this happens though.
