Get the project working with Wagtail 4.1+

[nickmoreton]

Modernise the project for later versions of python, Django and Wagtail.

The aim is to support modern versions of Django and Wagtail and continue to use the existing tests to ensure compatibility.

• Django >= 4.1, <= 4.2
• Wagtail >= 4.1, <= 5.2
• Python >= 3.9, <= 3.11

TODO: These are parts of the project that need further work.

• Currently it may not be possible to use the longclaw.contrib apps
• The dashboard panels need further work to be compatible with Wagtail 4.1+

Happy to merge this when you are ready

Hi @JamesRamm I think this is in a good pace to be merged now.

There's still a need to look at the contrib apps.

I think my next step will be to work on the use of modeladmin and use the replacement https://github.com/wagtail-nest/wagtail-modeladmin which will allow the app to be used up to the latest Wagtail 6.2 release

I also plan on updating the demo app: https://github.com/longclawshop/longclaw_demo that will help me understand what still needs fixing/updating. The start command creates a new site and that seems to be working OK but could do with some polish.

I discovered while working on the demo app that the basket api url needed a small change. The node dependencies could do with an update so for now I have locked them to the original versions and bumped node to v16 to prevent errors when running npm install

Hi @JamesRamm If you are happy with this so far I would like you to merge it now so that I can move forward with another round of updates over the next few weeks. Thanks
