Fix UniqueTogetherValidator to handle fields w/ source attr

[joshuadavidthomas]

This pull request introduces a failing test case to demonstrate a KeyError encountered during validation when a ModelSerializer field uses the source attribute and the corresponding model field is part of a UniqueConstraint.

When a ModelSerializer field specifies a source attribute to map to a model field with a different name (e.g., serializer_field = serializers.CharField(source="model_field_name")), and model_field_name is included in a UniqueConstraint, the validation process incorrectly attempts to access the validated data using the serializer field name (serializer_field) instead of the model field name (model_field_name) specified by source.

This leads to a KeyError within the validator, as the serializer field name is not present in the dictionary being checked at that stage. The relevant part of the traceback is:

tests/test_validators.py:702: in test_unique_constraint_source
    assert serializer.is_valid()
rest_framework/serializers.py:225: in is_valid
    self._validated_data = self.run_validation(self.initial_data)
rest_framework/serializers.py:446: in run_validation
    self.run_validators(value)
rest_framework/serializers.py:479: in run_validators
    super().run_validators(to_validate)
rest_framework/fields.py:551: in run_validators
    validator(value, self)
rest_framework/validators.py:191: in __call__
    condition_kwargs = {source: attrs[source] for source in self.condition_fields}
E   KeyError: 'raceName'

Note: I just added the test case at the very end of the class purely so I could quickly get a reproduction of this issue. Open to suggestions regarding its placement or structure if a different organization is preferred!

Alright, I have a fix in for the test. I tried to keep the fix localized and only change what is needed to fix the test, so if I need to restructure or extract some of the logic out for clarity, just let me know!

• The updated mapping now relies on serializer.fields[field_name].source being present in attrs. Consider ensuring that this key exists or handling the potential absence to avoid another KeyError.

@auvipy @browniebroke Alright, I've got that change in. Is there anything else needed for this PR?

I noticed there's no CHANGELOG file and that it seems to be tracked in either docs/community/<version>-announcement.md or docs/community/release-notes.md, but no place for unreleased changes (unless I'm just obtuse and missing something). If this something I don't need to worry about, that's okay too ☺️. Just trying to be a bit pro-active to help out.
