Bump to 1.0.25: restore Obsidian 1.12 compatibility, lower minAppVersion to 1.7.2

Obsidian 1.13 is not generally available (stable is 1.12.x), so releases
1.0.20-1.0.24 — whose minAppVersion 1.13.0 floor was raised to satisfy
the review's no-unsupported-api check — were uninstallable for everyone;
updaters correctly capped users at 1.0.19, and on 1.12.7 the settings tab
rendered blank because 1.0.20 deleted the pre-1.13 display() path.

Restores dual-path settings rendering with zero 1.13-only API
references: getSettingDefinitions() still drives the declarative 1.13+
path, display() is back as the imperative fallback sharing the same
per-setting builders, internal refreshes rebuild imperatively (identical
output on both paths, avoids the 1.13-only update()), and the
Reset-everything button gets its destructive styling via the mod-warning
class rather than setDestructive()/setWarning(). minAppVersion back to
1.7.2; versions.json maps 1.0.25 accordingly so pre-1.13 devices jump
straight from 1.0.19 to 1.0.25.
