Openai release branch: cherry-pick #2961 and core-version update from main

[lmolkova]

• Brings Test packages that are released individually with lowest versions they support #2961 into openai release branch
• Cherry-picks version update from main - otherwise CI fails with version conflicts (core-repo main now has newer versions of api, sdk and semconv than ones used in the release branch)
  • TODO: create issue to parametrize core repo version for release branches if patch is needed
