build: Upgrade to ora2==6.17.2 which removes loremipsum base dep

[kdmccormick]

Description

We hope this will fix an error caused by the fact that loremipsum is using pkg_resources, which setuptools dropped support for as of v82 (released yesterday).

1.257       loremipsum = ["pkg_resources"]
1.257

Testing instructions

I am currently running a tutor images build openedx openedx-dev to see if this PR fixes the build issue.

Even if it doesn't, we'll want to merge this PR, and then keep digging in order to find other packages relying on pkg_resources.

No need to manually test application code, in my opinion.

Deadline

ASAP, as this blocks basically all Open edX developers and site operators from building the platform image from scratch.

Other information

We should backport this to Ulmo, and possibly to older releases as well.

We did not fix the usage of loremipsum in edx-ora2 test code. That'll need to be done as followup later, but it's not critical to unblocking general open edx backend development.

[kdmccormick]

OK so this merged to master but GitHub is bugging out and didn't mark it as such: openedx/edx-ora2@0929cda

[kdmccormick]

Sorry, wrong PR, disregard the above comment

[brian-smith-tcril]

All tests except check_dependencies passed, so this LGTM!

[mboisson]

Maybe this suggests that setuptools should be pinned to a specific version ?
