Remove deprecated package @types/mongodb from mongodb instrumentation

[mic-max]

The dependency is marked as deprecated here

It says

mongodb provides its own types. @types/mongodb is no longer needed.

This is the package.json file listing the dependency

I noticed this error when performing an npm install on a project that includes this package

Note: I tried simply deleting the line from the package.json but got this error when trying to run npm run compile from \plugins\node\opentelemetry-instrumentation-mongodb

The top error is the only one from an src file, all other are from a test, which I believe is based on the npm version (which would need to be updated and create a new release as part of this fix)

The problem is that current version of the instrumentation requires the types. Removing the dependency to @types/mongodb would require to add one to mongodb which would be quite bad.

Work is ongoing to remove the need to include types dependencies in instrumentations (e.g. #1036, #1066) but it will take a while until this is fixed. As usual help is welcome!

@mic-max @Flarna Hey :) According to this PR: #1141
The dependencies of @types/mongo are now devDependencies only.
I think it met your requirements, right?

@osherv yes, looks good.

@osherv Yes, I believe that does it! Now projects that use this module will no longer see this message when installing it as it will not fetch devDependencies
