TST: Test .loc #25548 for matched and unmatched indices of Series (#6…

…0450)

* Added test for .loc to test setitem on matching indices

* precommit workflow

* modified from np.NaN to np.nan

* formatting fixes

* Added result and expected variables

* Added result and expected variables for both tests
