Description
In recent versions of scipy, they have introduced sparse arrays (e.g.,
csc_array) that generalize the existing sparse matrix classes to N dimensions. The scipy documentation recommends migrating to using sparse arrays rather than sparse matrices. This PR completes that migration for OpenMC, preferentially using sparse arrays for scipy 1.15+ (when they became fully supported) and falling back to sparse matrices for earlier versions.Checklist
I have run clang-format (version 15) on any C++ source files (if applicable)
