Title: Fix scikit-learn dependency to allow newer versions

Description:

This pull request addresses the dependency issue related to scikit-learn that was identified in issue #706. The previous dependency specification required scikit-learn to be exactly version 1.3.2. This restriction caused problems for users who had newer versions of scikit-learn installed, particularly for those using Python 3.12 and above, as it forced the installation of giotto-tda from source due to compatibility issues.

Changes Made:

• Updated the dependency specification for scikit-learn in the project setup:
  • Changed from:

    scikit-learn == 1.3.2
    

  • To:

    scikit-learn >= 1.3.2
    

This modification allows users to install giotto-tda without unnecessary complications and without the need to rely on building from source, significantly improving the installation process.

Impact:

• Users can now install giotto-tda smoothly without facing build issues when they have newer versions of scikit-learn installed.
• This change ensures compatibility with the latest versions of the library while maintaining the necessary minimum version for functionality.
