[🐛 Bug]: PyPI: selenium 4.17.0 whl is not defining strong version requirement to typing-extensions

[rpysz]

What happened?

https://pypi.org/project/selenium/#history

After release of selenium 4.17.0 our builds started failing due to the conflict between versions of selenium and typing extensions. Starting from 4.17.0 selenium requires typing-extensions in version 4.9.0.

Using selenium 4.17.0 with older typing-extensions (matched by PIP) ends with build errors. Enforcing selenium==4.16.0 fixes the issue.
Selenium wheel package should define strong requirement on typing-extensions version in metadata.

How can we reproduce the issue?

Build a project using the newest version selenium and old version of typing_extensions (for example, typing-extensions-3.10.0.2).
