Rationale for this PR
Previous versions of the OWASP Recommended Secure Headers had recommended that the max-age value for Strict-Transport-Security headers should be 63072000 (730 days). However, the recommendation is to now use 31536000 (365 days).
Also included is a cleanup of unused using strings and a minor version bump.
