chore: roll to 1.62.0

roll the driver to `1.62.0` and regenerate the sync and async APIs from the `v1.62.0` docs

upstream reverted the `routeFromHar` `interceptAPIRequests` option in `1.62`, so drop the matching `intercept_api_requests` parameter along with `HarRouter.add_api_request_route` and the tests covering it
