`y`, and `groups` parameters to`StratifiedGroupKFold.split()` are optional

### Describe the bug

`StratifiedGroupKFold.split` has the signature `(self, X, y=None, groups=None)` indicating that both `y`, and `groups` may not be specified when calling `split`.

However, omitting only `groups` results in `TypeError: iteration over a 0-d array`. Also, when omitting both `y` and `groups`, or only `y` the result is `ValueError: Supported target types are: ('binary', 'multiclass'). Got 'unknown' instead.` This indicates, contrary to the signature, that `y` and `groups are required and not optional.

I would instead expect consisted behavior with e.g. `StratifiedKFold`, where the `y` parameter to `split` is not optional.

`StratifiedKFold` and `StratifiedGroupKFold` both inherit from `_BaseKFold`, which provides `.split`. However `StratifiedKFold` implements its own `split` method, instead of using `_BaseKFold` like `StratifiedGroupKFold` does.

### Steps/Code to Reproduce

```
import numpy as np
from sklearn.model_selection import StratifiedGroupKFold

rng = np.random.default_rng()

X = rng.normal(size=(10, 3))
y = np.concatenate((np.ones(5, dtype=int), np.zeros(5, dtype=int)))
g = np.tile([1, 0], 5)

sgkf = StratifiedGroupKFold(n_splits=5)
next(sgkf.split(X=X, y=y, groups=None))           # TypeError

sgkf = StratifiedGroupKFold(n_splits=5)
next(sgkf.split(X=X, y=None, groups=None))    # ValueError

sgkf = StratifiedGroupKFold(n_splits=5)
next(sgkf.split(X=X, y=None, groups=g))          # ValueError
```

### Expected Results

Either no error if `y`, `groups`, or both are not specified. Or remove the default of `None` for both parameters from the function signature.

### Actual Results

COMMENT:
Sure. And let's get a core-dev's confirmation before you put too much work in. Maybe there is a reason to it that I cannot see.

Maybe @adrinjalali, would you confirm that it makes sense to make `y` and `groups` required inputs into splitters split() method?
Edit: I of cause had meant `y` and `groups` required inputs in to StratifiedGroupKFold .split(); not all the splitters.
