Python: Bug: broken openai dependency

[michagast]

Describe the bug
In the current version, semantic kernel requires the openai package version to be higher than 1.98 or lower than 2. This causes semantic kernel to throw an error. You can force to override the dependency and then it will work (at least with openai 2.17) but that does not seem like a solution.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Build a semantic kernel application that make use of realtime api by openai

Expected behavior
No build errors

Screenshots
Logs thrown upon error:

Opened a fix PR: https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/pull/13547\n\nThis adds a compatibility layer for OpenAI sentinel imports ( vs ) and updates the OpenAI service/agent call sites to use it, with regression tests for both variants.
