Issue:
[ENH] Fix failing output tests for the PoissonHMM detector
## Summary

The following tests for the PoissonHMM detector fail and thus have been added to the list of excluded tests:

* `test_predict_points`
* `test_predict_segments`
* `test_transform_output_type`

We should fix PoissonHMM to make sure these tests pass.

## Related PR

The tests were added in #6958.

Discussion:
y-mx: Hi, I've resolved the conficts, thanks!
