fix(deps): marshmallow 4 compat — abstract Number, default=, lockfile sync

Additional marshmallow 4.3.0 compatibility fixes on top of the dependency
bump, verified against marshmallow 4.3.0:

- superset/charts/schemas.py: `fields.Number` became abstract in marshmallow
  4 (cannot be instantiated). Replace `metric_fill_value` with `fields.Float`,
  preserving the prior "any numeric value" semantics.
- superset/reports/schemas.py: the `default=` field kwarg was removed in
  marshmallow 4. Replace `default=None` with `dump_default=None` on the two
  `custom_width` Integer fields.
- requirements/base.txt, requirements/development.txt: the compiled lock files
  still pinned `marshmallow==3.26.2`, contradicting the pyproject/base.in
  constraint. Bump both to `marshmallow==4.3.0` so installs actually resolve
  to marshmallow 4.
- pyproject.toml: refresh the stale "marshmallow>=4 has issues" comment to
  point at the FAB compatibility shim and the tracking issue.

Verified: all 47 superset/*/schemas.py modules import under marshmallow 4 with
the app initialized; 53 targeted schema unit tests pass; the FAB compat shim is
confirmed necessary (FAB 5.2.1 auto-schema generation raises KeyError on
permission_id/view_menu_id/db_id under marshmallow 4 without it).
