Added validation check for integer value for series.df

[pmhatre1]

• [1] closes BUG: Series.diff does no arg validation unlike df.diff for periods #56607
• [2] All code checks passed.
• [3 ] Imported is_float from from pandas.core.dtypes.common for the check and added an if statement to raise the ValueError.

Can you add a test case and a whatsnew comment like I mentioned in my original comment here?

This is on the right track, though.

@lithomas, I also found that algorithms.py should also need the check for the diff method. Do we have to open a new issue or shall I update both series.py and algorithms.py with the checks.My PR is updating the algorithms.py file but I can commit again with a series.py changes.

I have added the mentioned testcase and whatsnew update @lithomas1.

LGTM. One minor comment in the wording.
