### Minor Analysis Improvements
- Temporarily disabled the `instanceFieldStep` disjunct of the internal `TypeTrackingInput::levelStepCall` predicate, which was introduced in 7.2.0 and caused catastrophic query slowdowns on some OOP-heavy Python codebases (e.g. `mypy` and `dask`).
* Python type tracking now follows values stored in instance attributes such as `self.attr` across instance methods, including across a class hierarchy (for example, a value stored on `self.attr` in a base class and read in a subclass, or vice versa). As a result, analysis is more likely to recognize user-defined objects that are stored on `self` and used later in other methods, which may produce additional results.
* Simplified the internal predicates that detect `@staticmethod`, `@classmethod` and `@property` decorators to match the decorator's AST `Name` directly, rather than going through the CFG and requiring the name to resolve globally. Code that shadows these three builtin decorators at the module-scope will now be classified by the decorator name alone; in practice, shadowing these names is extremely rare and the call-graph results are unchanged.
* Python taint tracking is now more precise for values flowing through container contents, such as list, set, tuple, and dictionary elements. This may remove some false positive alerts.

- The modelling of Psycopg2 now supports the use of `psycopg2.pool` connection pools for handling database connections.
* Removed `lxml` as an XML bomb sink. The underlying libxml2 library now includes [entity reference loop detection](https://github.com/lxml/lxml/blob/f33ac2c2f5f9c4c4c1fc47f363be96db308f2fa6/doc/FAQ.txt#L1077) that prevents XML bomb attacks.

### Minor Analysis Improvements
* The sensitive data library has been improved so that `snake_case` style variable names are recognized more reliably. This may result in more sensitive data being identified, and more results from queries that use the sensitive data library.
