Adding tags to security policies and standards

Brendan O'Connorrequested to merge
boconnor/policy-toc-metadata into main

Why is this change being made?

No content is changing as part of this MR; however, since I'm touching a lot of controlled policies, I need several of you excellent senior folks to approve! Thank you very much for your time!

I am adding Hugo tags to our security policies and standards, which causes them to generate .xml files for the taxonomies in the public/tags/ folder. This will enable us to pull these .xml files into the internal handbook using the remote resource unmarshal function which will in turn allow us to generate an automatically-up-to-date Table of Contents for our information security policies and standards.
