Nightly 'samples' build of Colab notebooks broken recently

[ScottTodd]

What happened?

https://github.com/iree-org/iree/actions/workflows/samples.yml has been failing for two days. Sample logs: https://github.com/iree-org/iree/actions/runs/11547361887/job/32137116277

tail of logs:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)
ImportError: numpy.core.multiarray failed to import

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Steps to reproduce your issue

1. Workflow file: https://github.com/iree-org/iree/blob/main/.github/workflows/samples.yml
2. Test script: https://github.com/iree-org/iree/blob/main/samples/colab/test_notebooks.py

Check if the notebooks also fail on Colab itself: https://github.com/iree-org/iree/tree/main/samples/colab (the test script simulates running in Colab but software package versions can differ easily)

What component(s) does this issue relate to?

Python

As needed, we can skip or xfail these notebook tests to get the workflow passing again: https://github.com/iree-org/iree/blob/8bfcc8546c17530b778e85791f2a407cac1b3f84/samples/colab/test_notebooks.py#L14-L26
