Change pins from <pkg> =*=<bld> to <pkg> * <bld>

[jakirkham]

The linter now recommends to reformulate pins to not use the repeated =s syntax

This would involve making changes like the following

-- libxgboost =*={{ string_prefix }}_h*_{{ PKG_BUILDNUM }}
+- libxgboost * {{ string_prefix }}_h*_{{ PKG_BUILDNUM }}

Unfortunately this causes build errors with conda-build. This may be fixed in conda-build version 25.3. Flagging to revisit once the pieces are in place
