Requirements needs a minimum django version greater than 4.2

[talister]

This add a minimum dependency of Django >= 5.2 as needed for the feature of update_or_create() that we use.
An open question is whether the minimum version should be the currently known security fix (5.2.13 at time of writing) or this is nu-necessary specificity which will be handled by pip anyway.

We might want to make this change more broadly. From the April 7, 2026 security release notes:

Django 4.2 has reached the end of extended support

Note that with this release, Django 4.2 has reached the end of extended support. All Django 4.2 users are encouraged to [upgrade](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/upgrade-version/) to Django 5.2 or later to continue receiving fixes for security issues.

Oof missed that with the latest security announcement that 4.2 was EOL
