Gaussian Mixture: Diagonal covariance vectors might contain unreasonably negative values when the input datatype is np.float32

### Describe the bug

The Gaussian Mixture implementation shows numerical instabilities on single-precision floating point input numbers, that even large values of the regularization parameter reg_covar (like 0.1) cannot mitigate.

More specifically, diagonal covariance elements must not be negative. However, due to the numerical instabilities intrinsic to floating point arithmetic, they might end up being tiny negative numbers that reg_covar must compensate.
It turns out that, for some input float32 , the covariance can reach the unreasonable value of -0.99999979.
This is because squaring float32 numbers significantly magnifies their precision errors.

The proposed solution consists in converting float32 values to float64 before squaring them.
Care must be taken to not increase memory consumption in the overall process.
Hence, as avgX_means is equal to avg_means2, the return value can be simplified.

### Steps/Code to Reproduce

```python
import numpy as np
from sklearn.mixture import GaussianMixture

model = GaussianMixture(n_components=2, covariance_type="spherical", reg_covar=0.1)
model.fit(np.array([[9999.0], [0.0]], dtype=np.float32))
model.covariances_
```

### Expected Results

```python
array([0.1, 0.1])
```

### Actual Results

```python

COMMENT:
I am not sure degrading scikit-learn's overall internal computation accuracy is the best route. IMHO, the library should leverage the computational capabilities of the platform it is running on.
