Tails 3.9 apt config references tor-0.3.4.x-experimental packages, which are no longer available

Tails 3.9 apt sources lists include a reference to tor-0.3.4-experimental components, which are no longer available on the Tor Project repos. This breaks `sudo apt-get update`, and automatic installation of packages from the Persistent volume.

Steps to Reproduce

Start Tails 3.9 with an admin password.
In a terminal, run sudo apt-get update

Expected Behavior

sudo apt-get update completes without error.

Actual Behavior

sudo apt-get update fails with error:
