Code Review

This pull request updates the Alpha.Google.Cloud.Spanner.DataProvider dependency. However, my review indicates that this PackageReference in the benchmark project is redundant due to an existing ProjectReference to the same code within this repository. Maintaining both can lead to versioning conflicts and build instability. I have recommended removing the PackageReference entirely to resolve this configuration issue, which would make this automated update unnecessary.

[gemini-code-assist]

This PackageReference appears to be redundant and could cause issues. The project already includes a ProjectReference to ..\spanner-ado-net\spanner-ado-net.csproj on line 22, which is the source for the Alpha.Google.Cloud.Spanner.DataProvider package.

Having both can lead to:

• Versioning Conflicts: The build might use a different version of the package from a NuGet feed instead of the local source code. This PR is an example, as it updates to a version not yet present in the source project.
• Build Instability: It creates ambiguity for the build system.

To ensure the benchmarks run against the current source code, this PackageReference should be removed. The ProjectReference is sufficient.
