[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] WIP: Update to rails 7.x (PR #3414)

[Andy Allan]

Canonical rails looks like it could be updated fine - the maintainer is still active there. Annotate isn't crucial (I'd live without it for now, if it was the only blocker), and it looks like the maintainer might be awol.

`delayed_job_active_record` and the parent `delayed_job` might be more problematic, since they are looking slightly more abandoned that the others. Both have PRs for rails 7 support, and both have queries about the maintenance status. So they appear to be well used enough that some alternative solution (e.g. community fork) might appear, or since they are maintained by a company either they will find some time after the holidays to work on them again, or perhaps they can be approached about doing a release as some contract work.

The fact that the tests pass without delayed_job_active_record makes me smile nervously! I mean, it's helpful that we use the in-memory job queue for tests, but makes me pause given that it wouldn't work in production.
