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 STIG requires that all ``fchmodat`` syscalls are audited, but this
change creates a significant increase in logging on most systems. This increase
can cause some systems to run out of disk space for logs.
.. warning::
This rule is disabled by default to avoid high CPU usage and disk space
exhaustion. Deployers should only enable this rule if they have tested it
thoroughly in a non-production environment with system health monitoring
enabled.
Deployers can opt in for this change by setting the following Ansible variable:
.. code-block:: yaml
security_rhel7_audit_fchmodat: yes
This rule is compatible with x86, x86_64, and ppc64 architectures.
