Summary of the Pull Request

Sysinternals now ships native ARM64 builds that use the 64a suffix (e.g. procexp64a.exe, Sysmon64a.exe, handle64a.exe, procdump64a.exe). The existing rules only matched the x86/x64 names, leaving a blind spot on ARM64 Windows hosts. This PR adds the corresponding *64a.exe value next to every existing *64.exe entry across the affected rules. Detection-equivalent change only — no logic, condition or field changes.
