Description

Once pylint releases a newer version than 4.0.5, unpin astroids. It had to get pinned so that make upgrade would build correctly.

Originally pinned here: https://github.com/openedx/openedx-platform/pull/38067

See the PR description for more details.

Open constraints.txt and inspect the astroid pin, then review the referenced pull request for the original pinning context. Once a pylint release newer than 4.0.5 is available, remove the astroid pin and confirm the constraints file no longer enforces it.
