Prepare for 0.172.elfutils-0.172
It has been only 10 days since the previous release and there are no functional changes compared to 0.171. The speedup of eu-readelf -N is pretty nice. And ~25 patches fix various bugs (hangs and crashes) in dealing with bad DWARF5 data. Most have been found by running the afl fuzzer on eu-readelf and various testcases.
