fix(algorithm): updated matAlgo07xSSf algorithm to return sparse matrix

[Aakash-Rana]

Updated matAlgo07xSSf algorithm and fixed #3219

This PR addresses an issue in the matAlgo07xSSf algorithm, where the result of any operation on two sparse matrices returning a dense matrix instead of preserving the sparse matrix format. This function matAlgo07xSSf is utilized by various functions such as dotDivide , dotPow , bitXor , larger , smaller , equal , xor , smallerEq etc - to perform operations on sparse matrices.

The update ensures that the result of any sparse-sparse operation is correctly returned as a sparse matrix, maintaining consistency with the input types.

Changes:

• Refactored the matAlgo07xSSf algorithm to handle operations of sparse-sparse matrix ensuring only non-zero or true results are stored.
• Adjusted dependencies to properly handle sparse matrix operations.
• Updated corresponding test cases to compare result with sparse matrix.

Thanks @Aakash-Rana, this is a neat fix!

I'll merge this PR into the first next major version v14 since it changes the behavior of the functions like dotDivide and dotPow.
