[Bug]: Google LTS release for Beam 2.45.0 to use LTS version of libraries-bom

[lukecwik]

What happened?

Google would like to use Apache Beam 2.45.0 for an LTS release and requires the BOM to be on an LTS version of the libraries-bom (e.g. 26.1.5) but the libraries-bom LTS is subject to googleapis/gax-java#1858 bug which impacts BQ IO due to #21368 which required updating to the current BOM.

This is to finalize the discussion of whether Google releases an LTS which points to 2.45.0 or Beam migrates to a libraries-bom that has LTS support (e.g. 26.1.6) which contains the gax-java fix.

Could the LTS release contains Beam 2.44.0 instead?
