BUG: pytest error when loading conftest (seemingly platform-specific)

### Describe the bug

I'm seeing errors on my Windows machine when running `pytest` (does not work with only `pytest`, and does not work for directories that has `conftest.py`). This seems to be a platform-specific problem, since CI is not complaining. I investigated a bit and found https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9765, but it doesn't look like `pytest` is planning to fix it, at least for now. I tried downgrading to `pytest==7.0.1` and everything worked smoothly, but in https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/26373 the minimum version of `pytest` has already been `7.1.2` for scikit-learn (due to some CI errors for `pytest==5.x.x`), so scikit-learn is raising error:

https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/5c4288dba42cb67d954cb56c2cebfbf25c05ef89/sklearn/conftest.py#L30-L34

I'm wondering if it is possible to pin `pytest==7.0.1` or at least relax the minimum requirement a bit to `PYTEST_MIN_VERSION = "7.0.1"`? Or are there any other suggestions how I may resolve this issue? @glemaitre who bumped the minimum version of `pytest` to 7.1.2. Truly sorry for the inconvenience caused by my annoying Windows machine.

### Steps/Code to Reproduce

```bash
pytest
```

or

```bash
pytest sklearn/utils/tests
```

Running `pytest` on a single file works correctly.

### Expected Results

No error is thrown.

### Actual Results

For the first example,

```pytb

Reopening because the issue is still under investigation even if #27954 improves the situation a bit.
