Updates PowerStig’s bundled STIG data to include newly sunset STIG releases (Jan 2026 timeframe) and removes retired STIG content, aligning the repo’s Archive and Processed artifacts plus the changelog entry.

  • Updated multiple Processed STIG XMLs and their org.default files (notably Windows Server 2016, Windows DNS 2012R2, Windows 10, Ubuntu 18.04, Office 2016 apps, IE11).
  • Added new Archive artifacts (XCCDF XMLs/logs) for updated sunset STIGs and removed Archive artifacts for retired STIGs.
