Fixes mandiant#1100 Adds constraint to the registry-based persistence detection to avoid matching unrelated registry modifications like NetbiosOptions. The rule now requires the registry value being set to be either ImagePath or StartType, which are the registry keys used for actual service binary path persistence, not arbitrary NetBT parameters. This prevents false positives while maintaining detection of legitimate Windows service persistence mechanisms.
