Major Hayden 875f635ab4 [Docs] Overhaul STIG by tag docs 
This patch gets rid of the old "special notes" section that was a
dead-end in the documentation and replaces it with a brief header
followed by a dynamically-generated list of tag-specific
documentation. All of this sits underneath the "Hardening Domains"
section.

It also splits the "Deviations" documentation into its own section
because it's quite important for a deployer to review.

The patch also includes a link to video/slides from the Boston
Summit, which provided the latest updates for the project and some
background on how everything fits together.

graphical - Graphical login security controls

Although most Linux servers only have text-based interfaces, graphical environments are required for certain applications. Security controls must be applied to these graphical environments to prevent unauthorized access.

Overview

The STIG requirements for graphical interfaces are focused on ensuring proper authentication for new sessions and enforcing re-authentication after idle periods.

These controls will be skipped on systems without a graphical login interface.
