Handle RHEL 7 STIG renumbering
This patch gets the docs adjusted to work with the new RHEL 7 STIG
version 1 release. The new STIG release has changed all of the
numbering, but it maintains a link to (most) of the old STIG IDs in
the XML.

The tasks in this role set ``net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts`` to ``1``
by default. This prevents the system from responding to IPv4 ICMP echoes sent
to the broadcast address.
Deployers can opt out of this change by setting the following Ansible variable:
.. code-block:: yaml
security_disallow_echoes_broadcast_address: no
