chore(deps-dev): update falcon requirement from <5,>=4.2.0 to >=4.4.0,<5

[dependabot]

Updates the requirements on falcon to permit the latest version.

Release notes

Sourced from falcon's releases.

4.4.0

Falcon 4.4.0 contains a handful of long-requested features – a RegexConverter field converter, an application-wide error reporter, and a new allow_multiple keyword argument for the query string parameter helpers, along with a number of bug fixes. As usual, the newest CPython runtime, 3.15, is fully supported (including binary wheels).

The error reporter also serves as groundwork for the native OpenTelemetry integration that has been on our roadmap for a while. We are hoping to ship that integration as part of Falcon 4.5.

This release would not have been possible without the prototypes, fixes, and feature pull requests submitted by our community. Sincere thanks to our supporters and contributors!

Release Manager's Guide

Release Process:

1. Bump version (including the suffix for pre-release, if applicable).
2. Update changelog and render towncrier fragments.
3. Release beta or rc.
4. Run benchmark and check for regressions.
5. Review and edit doc changes since the last release for clarity and consistency.
6. Publish final version and add a release note.
7. Run benchmark and update falconframework.org with latest numbers.
8. Announce the new version in Gitter channels and on the socials.
9. Incorporate the tag into the current stable series branch.
10. Improve this document.

Bump version

Modify falcon/version.py if it has not been updated since the previous release. Examine the rendered changelog to determine the appropriate SEMVER field to modify.

Note that we have dropped setup.cfg altogether, so __version__ in falcon/version.py must contain the whole version (including the previously separately managed tag_build), for instance:

# Development version
__version__ = '4.0.0.dev1'
First alpha
version = '4.0.0a1'
Release candidate
version = '4.0.0rc1'
Stable release
version = '4.0.0'

Update changelog filename in pyproject.toml to suit.

Update changelog and render towncrier fragments

If a changelog RST has not yet been created, add one under docs/changes using the following template, and update the summary and changes to supported platforms to suit:
