ci: prep for 3.15t — install libhdf5-dev on pre-release Python; pin scikit-learn>=1.9.1 (#15283)

Land the non-3.15t-gated pieces of #15105 ahead of GA:
- build.yml/sphinx.yml: install libhdf5-dev only when running a pre-release
  interpreter (keras needs hdf5 there); guarded so it is a no-op on final builds.
- pyproject.toml: pin scikit-learn>=1.9.1, the first release with cp315t
  free-threaded wheels, so uv resolves a wheel instead of building from source.

The .python-version bump to 3.15t stays in #15105 as a draft until 3.15 GA.
