django 5.2 is the new LTS

[dmsimard]

5.2 LTS was released recently: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.2/releases/5.2/

See: https://www.djangoproject.com/download/#supported-versions

3.2 was supported until April 2024:

It's time to bump the requirement:

	# 3.2 LTS is supported until April 2024 after which we should lift to >=4.2
	# https://github.com/ansible-community/ara/issues/485
	Django>=3.2,<4.3
	djangorestframework>=3.9.1

I was looking for things to include in 1.7.3 and I think this would warrant a bigger release bump, like 1.8.0. We can do it later.

Hopefully this gets fixed soon - Django 4.2 is not compatible with Python 3.14 that just landed in Fedora Rawhide recently (will be released as Fedora 43 circa October/November), and I had to retire it since upstream Django only plans to support Python 3.14 in 5.2+

Thanks for looking into this @michel-slm.

Django 4.2 LTS is supported until 2026 and it is challenging to remain compatible with everyone and every distro :p

For now I will bump the requirement to keep 4.2 as the minimum version up to 5.2. It should allow the current versions of Fedora to remain OK while unblocking 5.2 for the issue at hand.
