Better content for setting BigFix settings

[jgstew]

I'd recommend reviewing this related presentation first: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dUqdTSuqex-c-3Iu33cnWEP6oV0vN0tm/view?usp=sharing

Make content that can be safely used to set recommended client settings that can be taken as a policy action targeted to ALL COMPUTERS. These are conservative, not setting anything that shouldn't be left in place in almost all cases, and most of the settings are only set if not already set to a different value, and only set once, so that if they are overridden later, then so be it. (command polling is an exception, the interval can be changed, but it MUST be enabled with an interval no greater than once every 6 hours)

Content ready to deploy:

• [x] Set "_BESClient_Resource_PowerSaveEnable" once after 2 days in bigfix: https://github.com/jgstew/bigfix-content/blob/master/fixlet/clientsettings/Set%20__BESClient_Resource_PowerSaveEnable_%20to%20_1_%20after%202%20days%20-%20Universal.bes
• [x] Set command polling to at least once every 6 hours: (if unset or set to a longer interval) https://github.com/jgstew/bigfix-content/blob/master/fixlet/clientsettings/Force%20CommandPollInterval%20to%20be%20less%20than%206%20hours%20-%20Universal%20-%20Policy.bes
• [x] Set initial client settings if unset: https://github.com/jgstew/bigfix-content/blob/master/fixlet/clientsettings/Recommended%20Client%20Settings%20-%20Initial%20Provisioning%20Speed%20up%20-%20Long%20term%20settings.bes
• [x] Policy action to force command polling to be enabled: https://github.com/jgstew/bigfix-content/blob/master/fixlet/clientsettings/Set%20__BESClient_Comm_CommandPollEnable_%20to%20_1_%20-%20Universal.bes

For other settings:

This is now a policy action to enable command polling: https://github.com/jgstew/bigfix-content/blob/master/fixlet/clientsettings/Set%20__BESClient_Comm_CommandPollEnable_%20to%20_1_%20-%20Universal.bes

[jgstew]

This should force the command polling interval to be less than once every 6 hours: https://github.com/jgstew/bigfix-content/blob/master/fixlet/clientsettings/Force%20CommandPollInterval%20to%20be%20less%20than%206%20hours%20-%20Universal%20-%20Policy.bes

run once on machines newer than the last 3 days, conservative long term settings only if not already set to something else:

https://github.com/jgstew/bigfix-content/blob/master/fixlet/clientsettings/Recommended%20Client%20Settings%20-%20Initial%20Provisioning%20Speed%20up%20-%20Long%20term%20settings.bes

added this one: https://github.com/jgstew/bigfix-content/blob/master/fixlet/clientsettings/Set%20__BESClient_Resource_PowerSaveEnable_%20to%20_1_%20after%202%20days%20-%20Universal.bes
