TimeInterpolator tests fail because of changes to scipy.interpolation.interp1d

[mdpiper]

Two TimeInterpolator tests are failing. The traceback:

===================================== FAILURES ======================================

The problem lies with the behavior of the previous and next methods of scipy.interpolate.interp1d, which TimeInterpolator uses. The issue https://github.com/scipy/scipy/issues/16997 explains the old (scipy<1.9) and new (scipy>=1.9) behavior of these methods. It looks like the new behavior is expected, so we'll need to update our tests.

A workaround is to require scipy<1.9.
