v4.7.17 release

v4.7.17 had six improvements and 19 bug fixes.

Significant improvements

• When configuring an editorial content report, a message appears if the corresponding task host is not configured in Sites & Settings. (Without a configured task host, editorial content reports do not run.)
• Improved the form of the ping command used to determine if a database is available.
• Improved view model and other front-end processing to enable developers to build custom modules using editorial content types.
• When configuring a content report using a content query, the list Display Fields now includes an extra identifier if several fields have the same name. If previously the editor saw the field Description twice in the Display Fields list, now the editor sees Description (description) and Description (cms.seo.description).
• Upgraded Github runner for Antithesis, addressing the run-time error System.IO.IOException: No space left on device.
• The HTTP response status code is now 500 for GraphQL schema load failures.
