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

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

[Nicolas Schier]

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].

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

It'd be nice if you could copy the error message here.

Sure.  I'll send v2 with one of the messages included here.
