Greptile Summary

This PR updates NIC Configuration Operator STIG FIPS release metadata. The main changes are:

• Ubuntu operator and daemon versions now use db87d5a-ubuntu.
• RHEL operator and daemon versions now use db87d5a-rhel.
• The changed entries remain in hack/release.yaml under the same images and repositories.

Confidence Score: 5/5

This looks safe to merge after confirming the short image tags are intentional.

• Repo-local release automation appears to derive or overwrite these STIG FIPS tags rather than using the changed fields directly.
• Direct consumers of hack/release.yaml could still pull the short tag values if they treat version as the image tag.

Short Tag Breaks Direct Consumers

If any release or downstream tooling reads this version field as the image tag, it will now pull nic-configuration-operator-stig-fips:db87d5a-ubuntu instead of the previous release-shaped STIG FIPS tag. That can make the Ubuntu STIG image unavailable to those consumers when only the network-operator-v...-stig-fips-ubuntu tag is published.
