Issue:
[BUG] `DartsRegressionModel` can not be used if `u8darts` is not installed even if `darts` is installed
In `darts` adapter, `u8darts` is mentioned as the dependency since it has smaller dependency set than full `darts`. But `darts` is a proper superset of `u8darts` and both gets imported as `import darts` only. Therefore as a user if I have `darts` installed, my expectation is I should be able to use `DartsRegressionModel`. However, that is failing with `ModuleNotFoundError`.

To reproduce, please follow the following steps:

1. Activate a python environment where `sktime` is installed, `u8darts` is not installed, and `darts` is installed.
2. Run following code snippet.
3. It should fail with `` ModuleNotFoundError: DartsRegressionModel requires package 'u8darts>=0.29' to be present in the python environment, but 'u8darts>=0.29' was not found. 'u8darts>=0.29' is a soft dependency and not included in the base sktime installation. Please run: `pip install u8darts>=0.29` to install the u8darts>=0.29 package. To install all soft dependencies, run: `pip install sktime[all_extras]` ``.

```python3
from sktime.forecasting.darts import DartsRegressionModel
DartsRegressionModel()
```

I am currently on `main` branch at commit 0f75b7ad0.

fkiraly: The failures all seem to be known issues from https://github.com/sktime/sktime/issues/7928
