build: limit clap version to 4.2.x to prevent MSRV bump to 1.70

[reubenmiller]

Proposed changes

Limit clap dependency to 4.1.x as anything higher enforces a minimum supported rust version (MSRV) of 1.70 (where as the current MSRV version of the project is 1.67). The version is limited to 4.1.x by using the tilde-requirement syntax.

clap released a new version, 4.4.0, however it seems the dependency within 4.3.x includes a dependency to clap_lex where the bump in MSRV was coupled only with a patch version bump (and not a minor version bump). This causes the 4.3.x versions to automatically pull in the more recent clap_lex package via Rusts default
