Fix dispatch of SparseMatrixCSC*Diagonal multiplication (#29045)

* Fix type signature of mul! methods for multiplying SparseMatrixCSCs with Diagonal matrices. Type signature for diagonal matrices was wrong, causing fallback to generic Matmul.

* Add SparseMatrixCSC*Diagonal dispatch test

* Fix trailing whitespace

* Don't copy with deepcopy

(cherry picked from commit 8d99356)
