Dominic Couture requested to merge update-puma-5-5-2 into master

What does this MR do and why?

Related to https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/343937

Our current version of Puma is vulnerable to CVE-2021-41136, which is exploitable only when Puma is behind Apache Traffic Server.

We're moving up from 5.3.1, here are the changelogs for versions that have been published since then

It's mostly bugfixes, a performance improvement and a few new features that shouldn't be breaking changes.
