Do not promote mean and covariance of MvNormal to common element type

[devmotion]

Ref #1964. Currently just to see if and what it would break.

Thanks for giving it a go!

How bad is this? I can imagine several of these test failures are fixable.

What really matters at the end of the day? That the core API functions are type-stable and respect eltype?

Is this good to merge, or are there more things to consider?

[devmotion]

No, this is a major change, so it requires a bit more discussion, feedback from other maintainers, and should in the end be approved by another maintainer.

I'm also not sure yet whether the workaround for UniformScaling is desirable; maybe that codepath should be deprecated completely in favour of FillArrays.Eye which in contrast to UniformScaling has a clearly defined size.
