Refs #35514 -- Removed specific Django versions from outside deprecated blocks.

This follows the contributing guidelines that state:

[...] Avoid referring to a specific version of Django outside a
``deprecated`` block. Even inside a block, it's often redundant to do so
as these annotations render as "Deprecated since version A.B".
