Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The oscap content shipped as part to the overall watchmaker content contains more content than is executed in the default profile(s). It would improve hardening-flexibility to ensure that the oscap-invocations were written to be able to pass a site-specific tailoring file.
Describe the solution you'd like
Change oscap methods so that, instead of using just the relevant profile's default content, they include reference to tailoring-content …then make that tailoring-content null.

Research direction
Locate the oscap methods and their current profile-only invocations in this Salt formula, then review the linked tailoring-file guidance. Define how a site-specific tailoring XML is passed alongside standard remediation and how a null tailoring value behaves; done means the oscap invocations support both cases.
