OpenSSF Best Practices Badge Criteria gold.hardening: hardening (Gold, MUST)

Gold criterion hardening (MUST; group Security, Other security issues). Criterion text: Hardening mechanisms MUST be used in the software produced by the project so that software defects are less likely to result in security vulnerabilities. This raises the silver criterion of the same name (there SHOULD) to MUST at the gold level.
