AutoML: Test harness trips when installing `catboost` on macOS with Python 3.11, works with Python 3.10

[amotl]

About

When invoking the test cases on the automl folder,

git clone https://github.com/crate/cratedb-examples
cd cratedb-examples
pip install -r requirements.txt
ngr test topic/machine-learning/automl

the process fails at installation time already.

ERROR: No matching distribution found for catboost<1.2,>=0.23.2; platform_system == "Darwin" and extra == "models"

I haven't investigated this further, and we will need to migrate off PyCaret anyway, therefore I am closing this.
