Issue:
BUG: regex match in compliance tests no longer match pytest expected inputs
### Pandas version checks

- [x] I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

- [x] I have confirmed this bug exists on the [latest version](https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/whatsnew/index.html) of pandas.

- [ ] I have confirmed this bug exists on the [main branch](https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/dev/getting_started/install.html#installing-the-development-version-of-pandas) of pandas.


### Reproducible Example

```python
N/A
```

### Issue Description

When I run compliance tests in python-db-dtype-pandas (a support file used by python-bigquery) I am getting multiple warnings (which cause test failures) due to a recent update in how pytest handles regex matches.

In pandas release 2.2.3 there is a snippet of code:
```
def test_take_pandas_style_negative_raises(self, data, na_value):
    with pytest.raises(ValueError, match=""):
```

Pytest returns this Warning:

```
pytest.PytestWarning: matching against an empty string will *always* pass. If you want to check for an empty message you need to pass '^$'. If you don't want to match you should pass `None` or leave out the parameter.
```

This warning shows up in association with each of these pandas tests (it may occur with other tests, but these are the only ones that my tests revealed.):
```
FAILED ...::TestGetitem::test_take_pandas_style_negative_raises
FAILED ...::TestMethods::test_argmax_argmin_no_skipna_notimplemented
FAILED ...::TestSetitem::test_setitem_invalid
FAILED ...::TestJSONArrayGetitem::test_take_pandas_style_negative_raises
FAILED ...::TestJSONArrayMethods::test_argmax_argmin_no_skipna_notimplemented
FAILED ...::TestJSONArraySetitem::test_setitem_invalid
```

Pull request description:
TST: Remove match= in test_setitem_invalid to avoid PytestWarning
test only change - This PR removes the use of `match=""` in `test_setitem_invalid` within `base/setitem.py`. 

Using an empty string as a match pattern triggers a `PytestWarning` in newer versions of pytest, so the `match` argument has been removed since the message was not being validated

- [x] closes #61557
