[SPARK-44914][BUILD] Upgrade Apache Ivy to 2.5.2

### What changes were proposed in this pull request?

This PR aims to upgrade Apache Ivy to 2.5.2 and protect old Ivy-based systems like old Spark from Apache Ivy 2.5.2's incompatibility by introducing a new `.ivy2.5.2` directory.

- Apache Spark 4.0.0 will create this once and reuse this directory while all the other systems like old Sparks uses the old one, `.ivy2`. So, the behavior is the same with the case where Apache Spark 4.0.0 is installed and used in a new machine.

- For the environments with `User-provided Ivy-path`es, the user might hit the incompatibility still. However, the users can mitigate them because they already have full control on `Ivy-path`es.

### Why are the changes needed?

This was tried once and reverted logically due to Java 11 and Java 17 failures in Daily CIs.
- #42613
- #42668

Currently, PR Builder also fails as of now. If the PR passes CIes, we can achieve the following.

- [Release notes](https://lists.apache.org/thread/9gcz4xrsn8c7o9gb377xfzvkb8jltffr)
    - FIX: CVE-2022-46751: Apache Ivy Is Vulnerable to XML External Entity Injections

### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?

No.

### How was this patch tested?

Pass the CIs including `HiveExternalCatalogVersionsSuite`.

### Was this patch authored or co-authored using generative AI tooling?

No.

Closes #45075 from dongjoon-hyun/SPARK-44914.
