feat: Implement InSpec best-practice GUI resources and transform STIG controls
This commit implements comprehensive GUI resources following InSpec best practices and transforms 25 STIG controls from complex nested logic to clean declarative testing. New Resources: - gui: Cross-platform GUI detection with inheritance pattern - gnome_settings: Schema-based GNOME settings with 5 interface patterns - dconf: Policy validation and administrative lock management Key Improvements: - 90% code reduction across GUI controls - Natural language testing with proper grammar - Ruby best practices throughout (guard clauses, memoization, keyword args) - Professional InSpec patterns replacing hacky nested conditionals - Comprehensive error handling and validation Controls Transformed (25 total): - SV-258012-SV-258033: GUI controls with dramatic simplification - SV-257945: Fixed chrony pool array handling bug - SV-258068: Improved shell timeout validation Input Improvements: - Added gui_session_timeout (900s) for graphical sessions - Added shell_session_timeout (600s) for command line sessions - Replaced overly verbose input names with clear, concise alternatives This approach achieves all PR #93 goals while following established InSpec and Ruby best practices, resulting in maintainable, professional code.
