deps: Update django-axes

[matthewelwell]

Changes

Updates django-axes by 3 major versions. The main thing that this achieves is to remove setuptools as a runtime dependency.

Note that I have verified the breaking changes in all release notes and they should not affect our usage.

How did you test this code?

Unit tests should cover this.
