TST: Prepare for pytest 9

The current version of pytest is warning that using `importorskip` to
catch `ImportError` will start being ignored (and thus raising) with
pytest 9.

Fortunately, in all cases, we don't need these calls, as they are:

- already checked for `ImportError` at the top-level of the file
- already checked by the backend switcher
- not actually possible to fail importing
