Update qiskit-ibm-runtime requirement from >=0.20 to >=0.49.0

[dependabot]

Updates the requirements on qiskit-ibm-runtime to permit the latest version.

Release notes

Sourced from qiskit-ibm-runtime's releases.

Qiskit Ibm Runtime 0.49.0

Upgrade Notes

• The option classes from the :mod:options_models package are now based on Pydantic's BaseModel instead of on dataclass. (#3042)
• Switched default schema version for Executor to 2.0. (#3043)
• The Qiskit Runtime service has been renamed to IBM Quantum Compute service, and the references to it in the documentation have been updated. The :class:~.QiskitRuntimeService class is now available as IBMQuantumComputeService. (#3070)

Deprecation Notes

• The usage of stdlib asdict with option classes from the :mod:options_models package is now deprecated, as they are now Pydantic models. Instead, use options.model_dump() directly for serializing them to a dict. (#3042)
• The post_selection option :class:.NoiseLearnerV3 is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. (#3160)

New Features

• Added :class:~qiskit_ibm_runtime.circuit.library.MidCircuitReset instruction and :class:~qiskit_ibm_runtime.transpiler.passes.ConvertToMidCircuitResetAndMeasure transpiler pass. The new pass extends the existing :class:~qiskit_ibm_runtime.transpiler.passes.ConvertToMidCircuitMeasure functionality by also replacing non-terminal reset instructions with hardware-specific mid-circuit reset implementations. (#2903)
• Added bit_flip_checks field to NoiseLearnerV3Options, allowing users to request bit-flip checks to the results of noise learning circuits. (#2907)
• Added an optional persist parameter to :meth:.FakeBackendV2.refresh. By default (persist=True) the behavior is unchanged: the refreshed configuration and properties overwrite the data files bundled with the installed package so the update persists across sessions. Passing persist=False instead writes the refreshed data to a temporary directory, which allows :meth:~.FakeBackendV2.refresh to succeed even when the package is installed in a read-only location (for example, a system-wide site-packages directory) where overwriting the bundled files would otherwise raise a PermissionError. In that mode, the backend is updated for the current session only and the changes are not persisted to disk. (#2977)
• :class:~.IBMBackend now has a physical_qubits attribute, which returns the number of physical qubits for the backend (programmable qubits, reset qubits, and couplers combined). The attribute is also available in :class:~.FakeBackendV2 for backends that are not retired. (#3080)
• The IAM URL used by :meth:.QiskitRuntimeService.instances can now be overridden by the IAM_URL environment variable, following the same convention as the IBM SDK's GLOBAL_SEARCH_URL and GLOBAL_CATALOG_URL variables. This allows routing IAM traffic through a private endpoint (for example, https://private.iam.cloud.ibm.com) in VPE environments without any code changes. (#3135)
