Summary of the Pull Request

Adds a Zeek http detection for NetSupport Manager RAT C2 over cleartext HTTP on port 443, matching the NetSupport Manager/ User-Agent when id.resp_p is 443. Legitimate NetSupport uses TLS on 443, so plaintext HTTP carrying this UA is characteristic of the RAT blending C2 with HTTPS egress. Complements existing host-based NetSupport coverage (process_creation) at the network layer. Validated against a real NetSupport Zeek capture; passes sigma-cli check.
