Adds Vssadmin.exe, requested in Backlog.txt. vssadmin delete shadows /all /quiet deletes all volume shadow copies on the host, a Tamper technique (T1490, Inhibit System Recovery) commonly used by ransomware to block file and system recovery. The binary is Microsoft-signed and ships in C:\Windows\System32 on Windows 10/11 and Server. Detection references the SigmaHQ rule for shadow copy deletion, which explicitly covers vssadmin.exe. Validated locally: python .github/workflows/validation.py and yamllint -c .github/.yamllint both pass for the new file. Co-authored-by: Jose Enrique Hernandez <josehelps@gmail.com>
