Wagtail 7.4 Maintenance (#276)

* Add locale to page fixtures for Wagtail 7.3+ compatibility
  Wagtail 7.3 (migration `wagtailcore.0094_alter_page_locale`) tightened `Page.locale_id` to `NOT NULL` without a default, so fixtures that omit the locale fail to load with an `IntegrityError`. Point each page at
the default Locale row created by wagtailcore migrations.

* Drop Wagtail < 7.0; add Wagtail 7.3 and 7.4 LTS support
  Update the supported Wagtail range to 7.0–7.4 LTS following the current Wagtail support window, and add Django 6.0 to the matrix.

  - Bump Wagtail lower bound to 7.0; drop the Wagtail 6 classifier
  - Expand tox matrix to cover Wagtail 7.0/7.1/7.2/7.3/7.4 and Django 6.0
  - Remove legacy file/thumbnail templates and the `wagtail_version_gte` template tag, which only existed to support Wagtail < 6.0
  - Inline now-always-true `WAGTAIL_VERSION` guards in tests

* Update dev dependencies and CI action versions
  - Bump pre-commit-hooks to v6.0.0 and ruff to 0.15.13
  - Bump testing/linting extras lower bounds (coverage, tox, pre-commit)
  - Bump actions/setup-python to v6 and actions/upload-artifact to v5 across workflows; align actions/checkout to v5 in nightly tests
* Update README
