Ensure FPS/CUR selected idxs are unique in the case of zero-score

[jwa7]

Attempting to fix #206

Hello!

I have encountered the issue raised by Alex in the above issue, whilst working with the equisolve wrapper for TensorMap-based sample/feature selection (i.e. in https://github.com/lab-cosmo/equisolve/blob/main/src/equisolve/numpy/sample_selection.py and co).

I have adapted Alex's example into a few unit tests for both FPS and CUR sample/feature selection, and attempted to fix it. However, there is something I'm not understanding. While the FPS tests now pass, there are a couple of (different) CUR ones that do not.

With this PR I was hoping to get some feedback/help from the skmatter dev team on this. Thanks! :)

Hey! This isn't something I'm actively working on at the moment, but I'll be sure to ping you for feedback when I / we get back round to it :)

I had the problem that CUR sample selection would give duplicate selected indices, for example X.selected_idx_ ==
[ 801 936 1308 253 1000 480 183 486 303 977 43 366 734 243 363 88 859 440 798 398 709 263 796
383 214 654 854 508 865 384 413 643 413 643 413 643 413 643 413 643 413 643 413 643 413 643
413 643 413 643 413 643 413 643 413 643 413 643 413 643 413 643 413 643 413 643 413 643 413
643 413 643 413 643 413 643 413 643 413 643 413 643 413 643 413 643 413 643 413 643 413 643
413 643 413 643 413 643 413 643]

I cannot comment on the validity of the code, but this branch solves this problem to instead give unique predictions like this, X.selected_idx_ ==
[ 801 936 1308 253 1000 480 183 486 303 977 43 366 734 243 363 88 859 440 798 398 709 263 796

368 390 359 218 237 130 530 661 439 311 318 542 669 830 268 208 215 903 418 855 994 664 631
