Release 5.4.1

[nicoddemus]

@pytestbot please prepare release from 5.4.x

The main reason is to resolve #6909.

[pytestbot]

Sorry, the request to prepare release 5.4.1 from 5.4.x failed with:

Command '['/home/runner/work/pytest/pytest/.tox/release-on-comment/bin/python', 'scripts/release.py', '5.4.1']' returned non-zero exit status 1.

See: https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/actions/runs/55039693.

Link check is really getting into the way of getting releases out (in this case, flakyness, not because the links are actually incorrect).

I will change it to not use link checks from the release bot, we need to discuss this further how to handle this in #6894.

As requested, opened a PR for release 5.4.1: #6918.

I even did some tests. :]

@altendky I remember those... it seems this time was due to rate limiting to GitHub:

We need to probably think of a different approach, you are welcome to join us brainstorm in #6894.
