Bump version number to 1.4.2 (#1280)

Motivation:

We plan on tagging a release soon.

Modifications:

- Bump the version to 1.4.2
- Add a commit template for version bumps, because the commit is always
  the same (unless I'm adding a commit template as well).

Result:

The version in the default user-agent string will match the released
version.
