GridSearchCV fails when parameters are arrays with different sizes

### Describe the bug

[`SplineTransformer`](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.preprocessing.SplineTransformer.html) accepts arrays for the `knots` argument to specify the positions of the knots.  

Using [`GridSearchCV`](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.model_selection.GridSearchCV.html) to find the best positions fails if the `knots` array has a different size (i.e. if there is a different `n_knots`). This appears to be because the code attempts to coerce the parameters into one array, and therefore fails due to the inhomogeneous shape. 

Note: sklearn versions - this error only occurs in recent versions of sklearn (1.5.0). Earlier versions (1.4.2) did not suffer from this issue.  

Note 2: the issue would be avoided if the `n_knots` parameter were to be searched over (instead of the `knots` parameter). However, it is often important to specify the knots positions directly - for example, with periodic data, as in the provided example, as the periodicity is defined by the first and last knots. In any case there are presumably other places in sklearn where arrays of different shapes can be provided as parameters and where the same issue will occur.


### Steps/Code to Reproduce

```python
import numpy as np

import sklearn.pipeline
import sklearn.preprocessing
import sklearn.model_selection
import sklearn.linear_model

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

x = np.linspace(-np.pi*2,np.pi*5,1000)
y_true = np.sin(x)
y_train = y_true[(0<x) & (x<np.pi*2)]

x_train = x[(0<x) & (x<np.pi*2)]
y_train_noise = y_train + np.random.normal(size=y_train.shape, scale=0.5)

x = x.reshape((-1,1))
x_train = x_train.reshape((-1,1))

spline_reg_pipe = sklearn.pipeline.make_pipeline(
            sklearn.preprocessing.SplineTransformer(extrapolation="periodic"), 
            sklearn.linear_model.LinearRegression(fit_intercept=False)
            )

spline_reg_pipe_cv = sklearn.model_selection.GridSearchCV(
    estimator=spline_reg_pipe,
    param_grid={
        # 'splinetransformer__degree' : [3,4,5],
        'splinetransformer__knots'  : [np.linspace(0,np.pi*2,n_knots).reshape((-1,1)) 
                                       for n_knots in range(10,21,5)],
    },
    verbose=1
)

spline_reg_pipe_cv.fit(X=x_train, y=y_train_noise)

plt.scatter(x_train, y_train_noise, s=1, label='noisy data')
plt.plot(x, y_true, label='truth')
plt.plot(x, spline_reg_pipe_cv.predict(x), label='predictions')
plt.legend()
plt.show()
```

### Expected Results

This is sample output from earlier versions of sklearn:

### Actual Results

Error:
```python-traceback
ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence. The requested array has an inhomogeneous shape after 1 dimensions. The detected shape was (9,) + inhomogeneous part.

Hum that's weird cause I'm able to reproduce the error on main, same commit :/
