Upgrade to Hibernate 7.2.0.Final

[knoobie]

Hibernate 7.2.0 was released. Immediately sunsetting support for the 7.1-series. (https://hibernate.org/orm/releases/)

Hibernate 7.2.0 would also match Spring Boots recommended Java Versions 17, 21 and 25 - where Hibernate 7.1-series officially only supports up to 23.

Please consider upgrading the default used Hibernate Version to 7.2+ in a patch release circle of Boot 4.0.x

Related to #38523 (where a similar minor upgrade was done)

Thanks for the suggestion but we've already discussed this. We will upgrade to a new feature release of Hibernate in the next feature release of Spring Boot.

We should discuss this again. It may not change the decision, but the ending of support for 7.1 is new information that we should consider.

Ah damn, I missed that bit, sorry.

We discussed this today and decided that upgrading to 7.2.0.Final is our best option. Supersedes #48461.
