ENH Remove the `OneHotEncoder` inheritance `SimilarityEncoder`
Problem Description
Follows up on https://github.com/skrub-data/skrub/pull/801
The SimilarityEncoder inherits from scikit-learn's OneHotEncoder, whose implementation might be heavy since we don't benefit from this parent class as we merely call check_X during fit.
Feature Description
Replace the inheritance with (TransformerMixin, BaseEstimator) and make the relevant small updates. This would also be the opportunity to perform some refactoring if needed.

also following other discussions, should this encoder be made to work on dataframes and manipulate columns by name rather than index?

Ideally, it would work on dataframes and arrays, don't you think?
