love Update Box2D to 2.4.2

Fixes issue #2198

Sep 03 '25 10:09 tpimh

Joint:getType() was returning distance for RopeJoint since Box2D 2.4.1 (because this is what it is now: https://github.com/love2d/love/commit/fc2cf602f67cbf97286f6b307baff104228e3629).

I removed rope value completely, because it became dead code. Maybe it's possible to add some detection logic and return the correct type here:

Or maybe it's better to just override getType() like this https://github.com/tpimh/love/commit/9fa0007a71af2883380b9978ab66d73406753db6?

the ci for windows can't find the nsis compiler and fails but other than that error this looks fine to me, can we merge this now

@hexatorum in current state, this PR removes "rope" JointType completely (it was broken since the last Box2D update). My proposed solution to restore this functionality is here: https://github.com/tpimh/love/commit/9fa0007a71af2883380b9978ab66d73406753db6. If it looks good to you, I will replace the last commit in this PR with the one from that branch.
