Most recent scikit-learn results in several failed unit tests (#1091)

* modified:   mlxtend/classifier/tests/test_stacking_classifier.py
	- Marked :test:`test_StackingClassifier` as skip because scikit-learn implemented its own :class:`StackingClassifier` in 0.22.

* modified:   mlxtend/classifier/tests/test_stacking_classifier.py
	- Formatted with isort, black, flake8.

* modified:   mlxtend/classifier/tests/test_stacking_classifier.py
	- Skipping all failing unit tests related to :class:`StackingClassifier` as they don't align with `scikit-learn`'s implementation.

* modified:   mlxtend/classifier/tests/test_stacking_cv_classifier.py
	- Skipping failed unit tests because scikit-learn's StackingClassifier has built-in cross-validation support.

* modified:   .github/workflows/python-package-conda.yml
	- Updated scikit-learn version to 1.3.1

modified:   environment.yml
	- Updated scikit-learn version to 1.3.1

modified:   requirements.txt
	- Updated scikit-learn version to 1.3.1

* modified:   mlxtend/preprocessing/tests/test_transactionencoder.py
	- Updated failing unit test to compare output directly instead of converting to numpy arrays (which results in errors unless the dtype is set to object).

* modified:   mlxtend/regressor/tests/test_stacking_cv_regression.py
	- Skipping `test_gridsearch_replace_mix` as it uses `StackingCVRegressor` when `scikit-learn` has its own implementation as of 0.22.

* fix stacking classifiers

* update

* adjust for macos vs linux precision

* autoformat workflow

* autoformat workflow

* hopefully final update

* hopefully final update

* leeway for linux
