[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] package/apr: bump to version 1.7.5

Hi Dario,

Thanks for the patch.

This apr version seems to break the test_apache runtime test:
https://gitlab.com/jolivain/buildroot/-/jobs/9637031124

The failure seems to happen in the apr-utils package.

Without this bump, the test succeeds. See for example:

Also, could you add a note in the commit log explaining why this bump
is not flagged as "security". For example:

"""
Note: the upstream release note mention v1.7.5 is a security update.
The package patch 0004-Merge-r1920082-from-1.8.x.patch in Buildroot
was already fixing this security issue. This is why this commit is
not marked as a security bump.

Could you have a look at the apache runtime test failure, please?

Best regards,

Julien.
