Update qiskit-aqt-provider to 1.8.x

[jbrixon]

Description

Updates the Qiskit AQT Provider to the latest version, so that it works better with the latest version of the API and benefits from a few other new developments.

This pins the dependency to the minor version, which will remain backwards compatible. The Qiskit provider doesn't strictly follow semver.

Looks good, can you maybe add something to the changelog?

[jbrixon]

Sure thing!

@cqc-melf would it be possible to create a release after this merge (or once the integration with the AQT API is complete, if that is not the case yet)?

Yes, I will check if there is anything more we want to include and then do the release
