Relax version pins on production dependencies

[tlento]

Is this your first time submitting a feature request?

• I have read the expectations for open source contributors
• I have searched the existing issues, and I could not find an existing issue for this feature
• I am requesting a straightforward extension of existing metricflow functionality, rather than a Big Idea better suited to a discussion

Describe the feature

MetricFlow still has a number of internal dependencies with version pins to specific versions. In particular:

  "MarkupSafe==2.0.1",
  "graphviz==0.18.2",
  "jsonschema==3.2.0",
  "more-itertools==8.10.0",
  "python-dateutil==2.8.2",
  "rapidfuzz==3.0.0",

These should be relaxed as far as we are able. jsonschema, more-itertools, python-dateutil, and rapidfuzz are probably the most critical production dependencies on that list.

werkzeug 2.2.3 requires MarkupSafe>=2.1.1, but you have markupsafe 2.0.1 which is incompatible.

MarkupSafe 2.1.1 was released March 15, 2022

MarkupSafe 2.0.1 was released May 18, 2021

Please don't pin dependencies that are 2.5 years old
