Update OpenTelemetry to 1.62.0, AB#3611236, Fixes AB#3611236

AB#3611236

Updates opentelemetry-api (and transitives) from 1.18.0 to 1.62.0.

Changes

• gradle/versions.gradle -- openTelemetryVersion 1.18.0 -> 1.62.0
• BenchmarkSpan.kt -- setAttribute(key, value: T) -> value: T? to match the @Nullable annotation on Span.setAttribute(AttributeKey<T>, T) in newer versions.
• common/build.gradle -- pin opentelemetry-extension-kotlin to 1.18.0 via a new openTelemetryExtensionKotlinVersion variable. Newer extension-kotlin releases add a strictly kotlin-stdlib 2.x constraint that conflicts with the project's Kotlin 1.8 compiler. The pin is binary-compatible with opentelemetry-api/-context 1.62 -- extension-kotlin only calls stable Context APIs that are unchanged across 1.18 -> 1.62.
