chore(deps-dev): update gpflow requirement from <2.6.0,>=2.2.0 to >=2.2.0,<2.10.0

[dependabot]

Updates the requirements on gpflow to permit the latest version.

Release notes

Sourced from gpflow's releases.

Release 2.9.2

This patch release adds support for Tensorflow 2.16.

Bug Fixes and Other Changes

• Support and test against Tensorflow 2.16. Note that (like tensorflow-probability) GPflow uses Keras 2. Since TF 2.16 defaults to Keras 3, tf.keras must now be imported from the tf_keras package. Alternatively, you can import tf_keras from the gpflow.keras module, which will automatically select the right source depending on which version of TF is installed. Note that Keras optimizers such as Adam should be imported from tf_keras.

Release 2.9.1

This patch release fixes a number of identified issues.

Bug Fixes and Other Changes

• Allow setting a prior for A in the Linear mean function
• Avoid rounding small values in kernel summary printout
• Test against Tensorflow 2.15

Release 2.9.0

This release adds caching of compiled graphs inside the Scipy optimizer, and adds support for returning loss history. It also adds supports for Python 3.11.

Major Features and Improvements

• Support returning loss history with Scipy optimizer.
• Scipy minimize wrapper caches compiled graphs and re-uses them if called with the same arguments. This functionality can be disabled by setting the new compile_cache_size argument to 0.

Bug Fixes and Other Changes

• Support and test with Python 3.11
• Test against a 'production' environment (in addition to 'min' and 'max' environments).
