[BUG] Fix `DartsLinearRegression` failing instead of giving a warning
this pr fixes the failure of the `DartsLinearRegression` which was failing instead of raising a warning.
it adds `message` to be passed correctly instead of using `message` as a keyword argument.
Also skipping tests for `DartsXGBModel` as it causes timeout errors as reported in https://github.com/sktime/sktime/pull/7110

fixes https://github.com/sktime/sktime/issues/7224

+    Interface to the Chronos Zero-Shot Forecaster by Amazon Research.
+
+    Chronos is a pretrained time-series foundation model
+    developed by Amazon for time-series forecasting. This method has been
+    proposed in [2]_ and official code is given at [1]_.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    model_path : str
+        Path to the Chronos huggingface model.
+
+    config : dict, optional, default={}
+        A dictionary specifying the configuration settings for the model.
+        The available configuration options include hyperparameters that control
+        the prediction behavior, sampling, and hardware preferences. The dictionary
+        can include the following keys:
+
+        - "num_samples" : int, optional
+            The number of samples to generate during prediction. Median of these samples
+            is taken to get prediction for each timestamp.
+        - "temperature" : float, optional
+            Sampling temperature for prediction. A higher value increases the randomness
+            of predictions, while a lower value makes them more deterministic.
+        - "top_k" : int, optional
+            Limits the sampling pool to the top k predictions during sampling.
+        - "top_p" : float, optional
+            Cumulative probability threshold for nucleus sampling.
+            Controls the diversity of the predictions.
+        - "limit_prediction_length" : bool, default=False
+            If True, limits the length of the predictions to the model's context length.
+        - "torch_dtype" : torch.dtype, default=torch.bfloat16
+            Data type to use for model weights and operations (e.g., `torch.float32`,
+            `torch.float16`, or `torch.bfloat16`).
+        - "device_map" : str, default="cpu"
+            Specifies the device on which to run the model, e.g.,
+            "cpu" for CPU inference, "cuda" for GPU, or "mps" for Apple Silicon.
+
+        If not provided, the default values from the pretrained model or system
+        configuration are used.
+
+    seed: int, optional, default=None
+        Random seed for transformers.
+
+    use_source_package: bool, optional, default=False
+        If True, the model will be loaded directly from the source package ``chronos``.
+        This is useful if you want to bypass the local version of the package
+        or when working in an environment where the latest updates
+        from the source package are needed.
+        If False, the model will be loaded from the local version of package maintained
+        in sktime.
+        To install the source package, follow the instructions here [1]_.
+
+    ignore_deps: bool, optional, default=False
+        If True, dependency checks will be ignored, and the user is expected to handle
+        the installation of required packages manually. If False, the class will enforce
+        the default dependencies required for Chronos.
