Abseil Version Not Recognized in CMake Configuration

[Inflection-aditya]

Summary:
When configuring opentelemetry-cpp with CMake, it fails to recognize the installed version of Abseil, despite having the latest version installed via vcpkg.

Expected Behavior:
CMake should successfully configure the project without errors related to Abseil version.
Actual Behavior:
CMake reports an error indicating that the Abseil version does not meet the required version criteria.

Could you please retry with -DWITH_ABSEIL=ON ?

The opentelemetry-cpp CMake project file no longer finds and links to Abseil directly since v1.21.0 and CI is testing that third party dependencies are properly found/imported along with opentelemetry-cpp. Closing this as resolved by #3220 and #3318.
