importlib-metadata 5.0 removed support for dict-style interaction with entrypoints [1] This means that stevedore does not support this kind of interaction anymore as well [2] when used with Python 3.7, which is the only python version the third-party importlib-metadata package is required rather than the stdlib importlib.metadata package, as explained in [3] A fix has been rolled out to stevedore [3], but it not in a release yet, so we need to manually constrain the importlib-metadata version, which is what this PR does.
