In Qiskit/qiskit#5619 how the qiskit.Aer provider gets loaded will be changing and it will always be present, not just when Aer is installed. In the topological codes fitters it was checking for the presence of Aer using qiskit.Aer which won't continue to work moving forward. To avoid this potential issue (and potentially unblock Qiskit/qiskit#5619) this commit switches to using 'from qiskit.providers.aer import Aer' instead which lives in the qiskit-aer project itself and will always import error if aer isn't installed.
