Update Drupal Core from ~11.3.0 to ~11.4.0 on the 9.2.x branch for Varbase Core [#3606373]

Problem/Motivation

Drupal 10 reaches end of life on 9 December 2026.

Varbase 9.1.x already paved the way for Drupal 11.

A Drupal 11–only 9.2.x branch lets Varbase 9.1.x sites upgrade smoothly to Drupal ~11.4.

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

Start a 9.2.x branch from the latest 9.1.x.
Set drupal/core to ~11.4 in the *.info.yml and composer.json files on the 9.2.x branch.
Drop support for Drupal ~10 on the 9.2.x branch.
Remove outdated and deprecated Drupal 10 code.
