v1.19.1: Fix install from Optimum

Installing optimum-habana from the Optimum library with

pip install --upgrade-strategy eager optimum[habana]

was broken, this release fixes it: 97d958a

We recommend installing the library with

pip install optimum-habana

as it is better solved by dependency managers and thus more reliable.
