set an explicit version range for the @opentelemetry/api

[khanayan123]

What does this PR do?

sets an explicit version range for the @opentelemetry/api

Motivation

#3654

TLDR:

"Short version: an SDK implementation should expect that minor versions of the API may include new methods. Minor version stability is guaranteed for users but not implementers. The OpenTelemetry authors recommend the following: dd-trace should define not only a minimum API level but also a maximum"

the version maximum is set to <1.9.0 which is expected to break us:

open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js#4677 (comment)

Additional Notes

Should we take the approach of listing the supported version range as a "peerDependencies"? Although it will ensure that users install the supported versions of the @opentelemetry/api it will also force users not using the @opentelemetry/api to have to install it.
