garak v0.17.0 — LLM vulnerability scanner release

Release notes for garak v0.17.0, NVIDIA's open-source LLM vulnerability scanner used for red-teaming and probing models for jailbreaks, prompt injection, data leakage and other failure modes. The release adds an EU AI Act risk-category mapping to tag and group probe results, plus fixes to detectors (agent_breaker judge verdict validation, packagehallucination import parsing, MarkdownExfilContent divide-by-zero, TriggerListDetector alignment) and probes (badchars ASCII selection, Markdown exfiltration link templates), along with Ollama generator improvements and dropped Python 3.10 support in favor of 3.13.

TL;DR Garak (NVIDIA's LLM vulnerability scanner) v0.17.0 adds EU AI Act risk mapping and fixes multiple detector/probe bugs affecting jailbreak, exfiltration and package-hallucination checks.
