Prepare release 7.4.2

[github-actions]

Created automatically from manual trigger.

Once all builds pass and it has been approved by one or more maintainers, the build
can be released by pushing a tag 7.4.2 to this repository.

Waiting for someone else to approve the deploy job.

@nicoddemus I am a bit confused, when you trigger the deploy workflow, which branch do you use? I mean the "Use workflow from branch" here:

[nicoddemus]

I have used 7.4.x for that.

[bluetech]

OK. Shouldn't it rather be from the release-7.4.2 branch though, so it includes the "Prepare release version 7.4.2" commit? Maybe it doesn't matter?

In any case, would be good to explicitly mention which branch to use in RELEASING. Also the "the build can be released by pushing a tag 7.4.2 to this repository" message in the PR description needs an update.

[nicoddemus]

Oh you are absolutely right. Let me cancel that and trigger the workflow again.

I will update those in main in a separate PR.

[nicoddemus]

OK, now triggered deploy from release-7.4.2, thanks for catching that. 👍

[nicoddemus]

Pushing the tag failed again. 😢

I will push the tag manually and try to fix the deploy job on main, and backport.
