Exception is thrown when newer OpenTelemetry packages are used

Bug Report

• Grafana.OpenTelemetry 0.7.0-beta.4
• .NET 7

Symptom

During intializing a tracer or meter provider, the application aborts with the following error:

Unhandled exception. System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'OpenTelemetry.Internal.ConfigurationExtensions' from assembly 'OpenTelemetry, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7bd6737fe5b67e3c'.

Reproduce

One can use this project file:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>net8.0</TargetFramework>
    <Nullable>enable</Nullable>
    <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Grafana.OpenTelemetry" Version="0.7.0-beta.4" />
    <PackageReference Include="OpenTelemetry" Version="1.8.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="OpenTelemetry.Exporter.Console" Version="1.8.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="OpenTelemetry.Extensions.Hosting" Version="1.8.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AspNetCore" Version="1.8.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http" Version="1.8.1" />
  </ItemGroup>

</Project>

And this application:

using OpenTelemetry;
using OpenTelemetry.Metrics;
using OpenTelemetry.Trace;
using Grafana.OpenTelemetry;

public class Program
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        using var tracerProvider = Sdk.CreateTracerProviderBuilder()
            .UseGrafana()
            .Build();
        using var meterProvider = Sdk.CreateMeterProviderBuilder()
            .UseGrafana()
            .Build();
    }
} 

Additional Context

Removing any OpenTelemetry packages from the project file resolves the issue.
