What does this PR do?

Pin ddtrace dependency to <4.8.0

Motivation

datadog-lambda-python was relying on an internal/private module from dd-trace-py which has changed in 4.8.0. We did not catch the incompatibility until after 4.8.0 has been released.

Example error:

ImportError while importing test module '/go/src/github.com/DataDog/datadog-lambda-python/tests/test_tracing.py'.
Hint: make sure your test modules/packages have valid Python names.
Traceback:
