ref mandiant/capa#2579
Most of these are obvious. But I did make one set of debatable changes: when a rule can have a really small scope, but we had an optional block to provide more context and therefore has a loose scope, i tightened the scope and removed the optional block. for example:
Otherwise, it gets kinda weird when a rule really just describes a single API call but has to have span scope, which then requires the rules that reference it to also have that looser scope.
