PR Summary

This avoids the floating point issues with tests in the asinh tick locator by moving away from the 100 log10 cliff. This was failing with the new AVX instruction updates in numpy. The underlying issue here is that the floating point accuracy around 100 changes from one side to the other and the floor() call doesn't accept precision arguments. This is not what we are trying to test, so just move the test values away from that edge.

Closes #22708
