Version

Botbuilder 4.14.0 azure-ai-language-questionanswering 1.0.0

Describe the bug

When building a Python bot using Question Answering and Botbuilder: The package azure-ai-language-questionanswering actual version 1.0.0 requires at least msrest version 0.6.21 but the actual version of Botbuilder (-schema/core/ai/etc) 4.14.2 requires msrest to be 0.6.19 (though I'm using 4.14.0 and the version doesn't match either). There's no way these two packages work together right now because of the msrest version dependency.

To Reproduce

1. Create a requirements.txt file with these dependencies azure-ai-language-questionanswering==1.0.0 botbuilder-ai==4.14.0 botbuilder-core==4.14.0 botbuilder-dialogs==4.14.0 botbuilder-integration-aiohttp==4.14.0 botbuilder-schema==4.14.0

2. Install dependencies of a bot project with pip install -r requirements.txt

Expected behavior

Upgrade Botbuilder to work with msrest version 0.6.21 OR Decrease Question Answering version dependency of msrest to 0.6.19 or lower

@axelsrz Does this issue need a fix to botbuilder-python dependency on msrest package? Thanks!

Hi @tracyboehrer @axelsrz..do you suggest any workaround until this is fixed ? I've a bot that uses question answering and I'm not able to deploy to azure as it fails whiles trying to resolve the dependencies. If its a simple update of the requirements, do you suggest submitting a PR ?
