AWS guardduty: Add GuardDuty security agent v1.17.1 release notes and image digests
Summary
Adds v1.17.1 entries to the SSM distributor, EKS add-on, and container image release history tables, including kernel 7.2 support, guardduty-data-v2 link-local endpoint connectivity behavior, and new x86_64/ARM64 image SHA256 digests.
Security assessment
This is a routine agent release-history update documenting new kernel support, endpoint connectivity behavior, and image digests. It provides supply-chain-relevant image hashes but does not fix a specific vulnerability.
