Description
5fa62e16b7859d38afb427e45ffbe03959526e75 set a runtime check with required_tensorflow_version = '2.18', but https://github.com/tensorflow/probability/blob/v0.25.0/setup.py#L52 still has the Requires-Dist set to 2.16.
This will lead to an import error like:
E ImportError: This version of TensorFlow Probability requires TensorFlow version >= 2.18; Detected an installation of version 2.16.2. Please upgrade TensorFlow to proceed.
which could be avoided if the Requires-Dist matched.

Research direction
Start in setup.py at the Requires-Dist entry for TensorFlow and compare it with the required_tensorflow_version runtime check mentioned in the issue. Done means the package metadata and runtime requirement agree, and an installation check no longer permits TensorFlow 2.16 with version 0.25.
