ModuleNotFoundError on `azdev extension publish`

[german1608]

Description

I'm attempting to use azdev extension publish, but I'm getting the following error:

No module named 'azure.multiapi.storage'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/gerobayopaz/aaz-env/lib/python3.10/site-packages/knack/cli.py", line 233, in invoke

  File "/home/gerobayopaz/aaz-env/lib/python3.10/site-packages/azdev/operations/extensions/__init__.py", line 311, in publish_extensions
    from azure.multiapi.storage.v2018_11_09.blob import BlockBlobService
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'azure.multiapi.storage'

I inspected the source code, and here we are importing the BlockBlocService from the azure-multiapi-storage package

azure-cli-dev-tools/azdev/operations/extensions/__init__.py

Lines 309 to 311 in ce90f1c

	def publish_extensions(extensions, storage_account, storage_account_key, storage_container,
	dist_dir='dist', update_index=False, yes=False):
	from azure.multiapi.storage.v2018_11_09.blob import BlockBlobService

and setup.py declares it as a dependency, but without a version boundary.

azure-cli-dev-tools/setup.py

Lines 69 to 70 in ce90f1c

	install_requires=[
	'azure-multiapi-storage',

But I think the most important thing is that this need to be migrated to use storagev2 api.
