Subject: [PATCH] perf build: Raise minimum shellcheck version to 0.7.2

Raise the minimum shellcheck version for perf builds to 0.7.2, so that
systems with shellcheck versions below 0.7.2 will automatically skip the
shell script checking, even if NO_SHELLCHECK is unset.

Since commit 241f21be7d0f ("perf test perftool_testsuite: Use absolute
paths"), shellcheck versions before 0.7.2 break the perf build with
several SC1090 [2] warnings due to its too strict dynamic source
handling [1].

Fixes: 241f21be7d0f ("perf test perftool_testsuite: Use absolute paths")

This is an alternative to introducing several shellcheck directives to
let old shellcheck versions handle the dynamic source statements
correctly:
