Unexpected behavior of tree splits: missing values handling is buggy?

### Describe the bug

When adding a sanity check in the best split function (`_splitter.pxy`), I get a bunch of tests failing. This probably reveal a bug in missing values handling.

### Steps/Code to Reproduce

Add those lines after [this line](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main/sklearn/tree/_splitter.pyx#L517).
```Python
current_proxy_improvement = criterion.proxy_impurity_improvement()
if current_proxy_improvement < best_proxy_improvement - 1:
    raise ValueError(f"Unconsistent improvement {current_proxy_improvement} < {best_proxy_improvement}" )
```

And then run the following tests: `pytest sklearn/ensemble/tests/test_forest.py sklearn/tree/tests/`

### Expected Results

No error is thrown, proving the final partitionning of samples is optimal and the children impurities are the correct/optimal ones.

### Actual Results

Many tests fail. I will split them into two categories, based on the alleged cause:


1. **MAE criterion**
Errors that have likely the same cause to than those two issues: #32099 #10725. The current implementation of the MAE criterion is slightly buggy. My PR https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/32100 will fix it.

```
FAILED sklearn/ensemble/tests/test_forest.py::test_importances[ExtraTreesRegressor-absolute_error-float64] - ValueError: Unconsistent improvement -9.0 < -4.0
FAILED sklearn/ensemble/tests/test_forest.py::test_importances[ExtraTreesRegressor-absolute_error-float32] - ValueError: Unconsistent improvement -9.0 < -4.0
```

On the branch of my PR those tests don't fail.
 
2. **Missing values**
Many tests related to missing values are failing. As explained in my PR https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/32119, the current way missing values are handled is a bit convoluted, and probably a bit buggy

Edit: now documented in https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/issues/32178

On the branch for my PR, none of those tests fails.

COMMENT:
The two root causes behind this issue are now documented in separate issues. But I'd like to keep this issue open for now, and focus it on the testing subject.

> testing that the best split function does return the best split in all configurations.

I opened a draft PR with this test: https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/32193
