With the upcoming changes to rebase onto the RHEL 7 STIG controls, there needs to be a new solution for documentation that is easier to manage and filter. This patch automates the generation of the STIG control documentation in the following way: * A Sphinx extension runs early in the doc build process that writes all of the individual STIG control docs as well as ToC pages. * ToC pages are now sorted by severity, tag, and implementation status. * A giant listing of controls is easier to navigate now. * Docs are generated from metadata in the /doc/metadata directory. New documentation only needs to be added there. (Will explain this in the developer notes in a subsequent patch.)

Exception
Virtual consoles are helpful during an emergency and they can only be reached by physical or other out-of-band access (such as DRAC, iLO, or iKVM). This change can be confusing for system administrators and it is left up to the deployer to complete.
As an alternative, deployers could take action to restrict physical access to server terminals. Out-of-band access mechanisms should be segmented onto their own restricted network and should use centralized authentication.
