Upgrade poetry-core range to fix #16147

This fixes #16147 but I'm not sure this is precisely the right version bound. Looking through Poetry related issues directly or indirectly related to #16147 I tend to argue Poetry has created more problems than benefit and would prefer removing it altogether.

For example, we are using an unsupported Poetry mechanism for building the Rust synapse.synapse_rust modules, see https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/2740#issuecomment-665073135

Happy to make the necessary changes in order to improve the new contributor onboarding experience, whatever they may be.

Can you add a changelog entry please, so we can get CI churning? I tried to add one to this PR myself, but I don't think I have write access to your fork's branch. Here's my suggestion:
