Stable package tests CI failure on Node.js v16

[legendecas]

CI is constantly failing on Node.js v16 for stable packages tests since ee2342b was merged.

I tried to take a look local but for me even npm install fails with

npm ERR! code ERESOLVE
npm ERR! ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree

I was able to reproduce this local. For whatever reason @opentelemetry/api v1.0.4 is installed as a dependency within sdk-trace-node which results in having two API versions (1.0.4 and 1.1.0) in build.

As the SDK has 1.0.4 and others have 1.1.0 the version check in API tells the 1.1.0 users (e.g. context-async-hooks) that it is incompatible.

I have no idea why 1.0.4 gets installed here as ranges should go for 1.1.0. But it seems this shows that allowing ranges from 1.0.0 to 1.2.0 is problematic as the version check in API may reject a newer minor version.

if I change the range in sdk-trace-node to ">=1.1.0 <1.2.0" the hosted 1.1.0 version of API is used and tests pass.
