python3Packages.tornado: 6.4.1 -> 6.4.2

[ShamrockLee]

Address CVE-2024-52804.

Release node: https://www.tornadoweb.org/en/stable/releases/v6.4.2.html

tornado_5 and tornado_5 currently don't build. I cannot test them even though the patch could be manually backported.

This security update requires a backport to Nixpkgs 24.11.

This update turns out to cause a lot of rebuilds. Should a security update like this target master or staging?

Lets just do staging

nix-files-parseable-check complains error: path '/home/runner/work/nixpkgs/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/python-modules/uv/default.nix' does not exist, which seems unrelated to the changes in this PR. I'll rebase and see if the error persists.

@philiptaron How do you teach nixpkgs-review to avoid world-rebuilding?
