Suppress nonsense DeprecationWarning caused by unittest (#12676) (#…

* Suppress nonsense `DeprecationWarning` caused by `unittest`

`unittest.TestCase.assertWarns` in context-manager form has an awkward
habit of querying the `__warningregistry__` attribute on every module in
existence.  This interacts poorly with a Numpy 2 deprecation warning
trigger for code that's attempting to import functions from modules that
became private in Numpy 2, if a warning has previously been triggered
out of `numpy.linalg._linalg`.

This simply suppresses that particular warning from the test suite.

* Refine filter

* Pin Rustworkx to avoid buggy graphviz drawing

* Update test/utils/base.py
