BUG Fix KMeans sample_weight handling in inertia and score

[PrateekM-18]

#Description

Fixes #8530.
'KMeans' was normalizing 'sample_weight' when computing inertia and score, causing the weighted objective to differ from the expected value.
This change disables weight normalization for the inertia/score prediction path and adds a regression test covering weighted inertia and score.

Tests

-Added a regression test for weighted 'KMeans.inertia_' and 'KMeans.score'.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Corrected weighted KMeans prediction behavior so input weights are not renormalized during scoring.
  • Improved consistency between weighted KMeans training inertia and scoring results.

• Tests

  • Added regression coverage for weighted KMeans inertia and scoring calculations.

Walkthrough

KMeans now preserves sample weights when computing inertia and score values. A regression test verifies weighted training inertia of 12.0 and weighted scoring of -8.0.

Changes

Weighted KMeans objective

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Preserve weights in objective calculations python/cuml/cuml/cluster/kmeans.pyx, python/cuml/tests/test_kmeans.py	The prediction path disables sample-weight normalization. The regression test verifies weighted inertia and scoring against fixed expected values.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to aa351

Weighted scoring is corrected, but fitted KMeans inertia still returns the normalized value instead of the requested weighted objective. Both fit paths should disable normalization before merge.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Disable normalization on both single-GPU fit paths.

This change corrects weighted score(), but fit() still calls _kmeans_predict() with normalize_weights=True by default. The host-chunked fit path has the same behavior. Therefore model.inertia_ remains normalized and returns 8.0 instead of 12.0 for the regression data. Pass normalize_weights=False to both fit calls.

Proposed fix

 labels, inertia = _kmeans_predict(
     handle_[0],
     params,
     X,
     sample_weight,
     centers,
+    normalize_weights=False,
 )

 labels, inertia = _kmeans_predict_host_chunked(
     handle_[0], params, X, sample_weight, centers,
     device_buffer_samples,
+    normalize_weights=False,
 )
