[🐛 Bug]: Too tight dependency on typing-extensions

[nijel]

What happened?

Upgrade from selenium 4.22.0 to 4.23.0 is impossible because of tightened dependencies on typing-extensions as observed in WeblateOrg/weblate#12090:

Because django-stubs==5.0.2 depends on typing-extensions>=4.11.0 and
selenium==4.23.0 depends on typing-extensions>=4.9.0,<4.10.dev0, we can
conclude that django-stubs==5.0.2 and selenium==4.23.0 are incompatible.

It seems to be used only for:

from typing_extensions import deprecated

This is very unlikely to break between versions, so could the dependency be relaxed a bit? I think typing-extensions>=4.9.0,<5 would work well in this case (this is basically the same as typing-extensions=~4.9 used in 4.22.0).

This was changed by f69260d in #14187.

How can we reproduce the issue?

pip install django-stubs==5.0.2 selenium==4.23.0

Relevant log output

The conflict is caused by:
    django-stubs 5.0.2 depends on typing-extensions>=4.11.0
    selenium 4.23.0 depends on typing_extensions~=4.9.0

I've made #14279 with a proposed fix.

Additional note for the maintainers as they are likely more familiar with JS:

In python version resolving works quite different. It is not possible to have multiple versions of a package, so relaxed dependencies are normally used.

If you want to hard limit dependencies for tests it is maybe better to use hatch, poetry or pdm for having a test environment.
Except hatch all suggestions support lockfiles.

I created #14297, to handle all dependencies that needed to be updated.
