Outdated peerDependency `webdriverio@"^8.32.2"` causing issues when using latest `webdriverio@"^9"`

[maninak]

We're having issues in our CI due to peerDependency mismatch:

npm error code ERESOLVE
npm error ERESOLVE could not resolve
npm error
npm error While resolving: wdio-vscode-service@6.1.2
npm error Found: webdriverio@9.4.0

Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

The current work-around we've found is adding the following to our package.json:

  "overrides": {
    "wdio-vscode-service": {
      "webdriverio": "^9.2.11"
    }
  },

But adding the above may later easily be forgotten and overlooked while also becoming the cause of other issues related to webdriverio version.

It would be ideal that the peerDependencies of wdio-vscode-service are set such that users of this lib can use the latest major webdriverio version without any issues or need for overrides.
