Context

• Four PRs have landed on develop since 7.16.0 (Prep 7.16.0 #2088): [PLT-4664] Add Project.clear_queue_reservations #2087, [PLT-4664] Raise ResourceNotFoundError when clearing reservations of a missing queue #2090, [PLT-4662] Add, remove and list user group members, and read the group audit log #2091, [PLT-4661] Say what LabelVersion.annotation_count counts #2089
• Their backend halves are all merged in intelligence (#31631, #31630, #31667), so the SDK methods work against the live API
• This is the standard Prep step; same shape as Prep 7.16.0 #2088

In scope

• Cut minor release 7.17.0
• Changelog entries for:
  • Project.clear_queue_reservations() ([PLT-4664] Add Project.clear_queue_reservations #2087, with the ResourceNotFoundError fix in [PLT-4664] Raise ResourceNotFoundError when clearing reservations of a missing queue #2090)
  • UserGroup.add_members() / remove_members() / list_members() and the group audit log, audit_events() / get_audit_events() ([PLT-4662] Add, remove and list user group members, and read the group audit log #2091)
  • The LabelVersion.annotation_count docstring clarification ([PLT-4661] Say what LabelVersion.annotation_count counts #2089)

Out of scope

• GitHub release/tag and PyPI Publish (next steps after merge)
• Any SDK code changes

Low Risk
Version and changelog-only release prep with no runtime code changes.

Overview
Cuts release 7.17.0 by bumping the package version everywhere it is published (pyproject.toml, labelbox.__version__, Sphinx release) from 7.16.0 to 7.17.0.

Adds a 7.17.0 section to CHANGELOG.md documenting work already merged on develop: Project.clear_queue_reservations(); incremental UserGroup membership APIs and group audit log readers plus related audit types; and clarified docs for LabelVersion.annotation_count. No SDK implementation changes in this PR—only release metadata and release notes.
