wp_calculate_image_srcset(): Reduce accepted aspect ratio difference

Description

Currently images are included in the srcset if the aspect ratio difference is smaller than 0.01. This number seems too high.

See this issue on the Responsive Images plugin support forum: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/when-crops-sizes-are-missingrandom-image-selected-in-srcset?replies=7#post-7713923.
The src image is 380x256, hard cropped. A hard cropped 480w image would be 480x323, but we do include the 480x319 soft cropped image in the srcset. A difference in height of 4px while only 100px wider is too much.

I looked at the PR in the plugin repo where the value of 0.01 was introduced (https://github.com/ResponsiveImagesCG/wp-tevko-responsive-images/pull/140) to see if there was any reason to use this particular value, but it appears to be a matter of playing safe when it comes to not excluding images from the srcset.

I suggest to change 0.01 to 0.005.

I agree that an aspect ratio difference of .01 is too permissive. We can probably be even more strict than .005, In 34810.diff, I've changed the allowed variance to .002, which should account for rounding variance and have fewer false positives.

This is mainly and issue when we're comparing larger images to be included in a srcset. As the difference between the widths being compared increases, the probability that rounding will introduce false positives also grows. We could make the aspect ratio variance we allow relative to the difference between the widths we're comparing, but the extra calculation is probably unnecessary unless the difference between image widths is in the tens of thousands.
