Samirbous 5e801b2edf [Tuning] Improve Performance (#2953)
* [Tuning] Improve Performance

Remote Computer Account DnsHostName Update : sequence not needed, removed auth event to improve rule execution time.

Potential Remote Credential Access via Registry : removed sequence, since user.id is reported as std user SID (svchost is impersonating a remote user), and reduced file.path to known bad (based on observed TPs)

* Update privilege_escalation_suspicious_dnshostname_update.toml
