AWS lightsail medium security documentation change
Summary
Removed FreeBSD 13 (EOL), added openSUSE 16 with EOL notice for openSUSE 15, updated WordPress blueprint description to mention HTTPS support and pre-installed plugins, and updated WordPress tutorial links.
Security assessment
Removing EOL OS versions (FreeBSD 13) mitigates security risks from unpatched vulnerabilities. Adding WordPress HTTPS guidance promotes encryption. Concrete evidence: EOL warnings explicitly reference security risks.
