SNOW-2192848: Support for scikit-learn 1.6 and 1.7

[blotero]

As today's requirements setup for snowflake-ml-python, scikit-learn is constrained to <1.6, as seen in:

snowflake-ml-python/requirements.yml

Line 217 in fe7fb34

version_requirements: <1.6

It would be nice to enable support for 1.6.x and 1.7.x versions, considering that 1.5.2 version was released in Sep 2024 it's starting to feel legacy.

@blotero we are adding support for 1.6.x in the next release. We will look into 1.7.x support.

@blotero we will support scikit-learn < 1.8 and xgboost < 4 in the next release. Closing this issue. Thanks so much for your feedback!
