Proposed Changes

The Django admin UI was removed in NetBox v4.0, however older installations may still have the old django_admin_log table in place. We should include a migration to drop this table if it exists. (This should probably be done via a raw SQL command to avoid raising an error in case the table has already been dropped.)

Justification

Foreign key constraints may prevent the deletion of a user referenced by an old record in django_admin_log. See #20338 for example.
