tikzplotlib with matplotlib 3.8.* not working

[annabeckers]

When using matplotlib 3.8.* tikzplotlib is throwing an error when its getting imported.

common_texification got removed with matplotlib 3.8.0 and can therefore not be found: https://fossies.org/linux/matplotlib/doc/api/prev_api_changes/api_changes_3.8.0/removals.rst

Minimum (non)-working example:

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
import tikzplotlib

Error:
