🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Return float decision scores from _ConstantPredictor.

decision_function is a score function. It must return a floating-point array. The current cp.int32 dtype propagates to the public decision_function output for a one-class OvR fit, so callers receive integer scores. Keep predict integral, but make the score float.

♻️ Proposed dtype fix 
     def decision_function(self, X):
         """Return a neutral decision score."""
-        return cp.zeros(X.shape[0], dtype=cp.int32)
+        return cp.zeros(X.shape[0], dtype=cp.float64)

_ConstantPredictor.decision_function to return the neutral scores as a
floating-point CuPy array instead of cp.int32, while leaving predict’s integral
output unchanged.
