Version 4.2.0.pre.1

The first prerelease of the 4.2 line, cut from `master` after 4.1.2.
`Gemfile.lock` is regenerated with the bump, and CHANGELOG.md gains the
4.2.0.pre.1 section.

The changelog starts at `v4.1.2`, the latest tag reachable from `master`,
which is how a prerelease is written up: 4.1.3 was cut from `aaa-4.1.x`,
so the two changes it backported are listed here under the pull requests
they were written in.
