Add Complex version of almostEqual function (#23549)

This adds a version of `almostEqual` (which was already available for
floats) thata works with `Complex[SomeFloat]`.

Proof that this is needed is that the first thing that the complex.nim
runnable examples block did before this commit was define (an
incomplete) `almostEqual` function that worked with complex values.
