chore: bump version to 1.7.2

[ninja-shreyash]

Version bump 1.7.1 → 1.7.2 for today's release. Changes only package.json and package-lock.json; release-metadata.json is regenerated off a fresh build and committed on this branch (the Regenerate release-metadata workflow re-verifies it).

Why patch, not minor: no PR merged since 1.7.1 carries a breaking-change label, removes a public method, or changes an existing signature. This release is purely additive — two new services.

Draft release notes (1.7.2)

### New Features & Improvements

- Introduced Connections service for Integration Service connections, connectors, and connector element metadata (#554)
- Introduced Users service for organization user management (#663)
- Fixed non-OData services silently sending `$count: true` in request bodies (#663)

**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/UiPath/uipath-typescript/compare/1.7.1...1.7.2

Both new services are tagged @experimental in source. Not called out in the notes above, per the convention the published releases follow — the Functions service shipped @experimental in 1.6.1 and was announced as a plain Introduced a ... service line.

Excluded as not user-facing: #720 and #739 (changes to the separate @uipath/coded-action-app package, released independently), #735 and #710 (docs), #709 (Document Understanding validation station samples — no src/ code), #670 and #729 (integration test fixes).

Missing execute() from release-metadata.json

The PR description's draft release notes mention execute() (the passthrough that runs an arbitrary connector operation) as a new public API in this release. However, it does not appear in release-metadata.json.

Root cause: scripts/gen-release-metadata.mjs discovers methods exclusively by walking *ServiceModel interfaces — class-based services only. The execute() export in src/services/integration-service/execution/execution.ts is a standalone free function, not a method on any *ServiceModel interface, so the generator never reaches it. It is tagged @experimental (not @internal), so it should be included per CLAUDE.md: if you added a service/method, confirm it appears after the bump.

Options to fix:

1. Wrap execute() in a *ServiceModel-implementing class so the generator picks it up automatically.
2. Extend gen-release-metadata.mjs to also capture standalone named function exports that are not marked @internal.
3. Remove the mention of execute() from the draft release notes if it is intended to stay outside the tracked public surface for now.

This does not block the version bump mechanically, but release-metadata.json will permanently lack a since: 1.7.2 record for this API unless addressed here.
