Description
Many estimators check for sparse inputs using scipy's
issparse, but sklearn's data validators also take sparse data frames as sparse and convert them to COO/CSC/CSR internally, whereas sklearnex assumes that data frames are always dense.This PR fixes the sparsity checks to consider also sparse data frames, and adds tests along the way to ensure that they are processed in the right format.
