False detection of Squirrel_installer #318

Description

In: dbs_min/db/PE/Squirrel_installer.1.sg
The SquirrelAwareVersion field in the version resource indicates that the executable supports receiving Squirrel life cycle notifications (even if it's not installed with Squirrel). See: https://github.com/Squirrel/Squirrel.Windows/blob/51f5e2cb/src/Squirrel/SquirrelAwareExecutableDetector.cs.
All Electron Windows executables have this value, resulting in a high number of false positives. See: https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/main/build/templates/electron_rc.tmpl#L77
