Research direction

Start with opentelemetry/instrumentation/auto_instrumentation/_load.py and the OpenSSL/crypto.py traceback, then reproduce the failure under Python 3.11 while checking the installed dependency versions. Done means Python auto-instrumentation loads without the X509_V_FLAG_NOTIFY_POLICY AttributeError.
