Description

          I'd say it's fine to remove the optional block, how about we create a new rule with the LoadLibrary APIs (not sure if that's just noisy or helpful).

Originally posted by @mr-tz in https://github.com/mandiant/capa-rules/pull/908#discussion_r1629084813

removed rule features:

      - optional:
        - characteristic: indirect call
        - api: kernel32.LoadLibrary
        - api: kernel32.GetModuleHandle
        - api: kernel32.GetModuleHandleEx
        - api: ntdll.LdrLoadDll

Research direction

Start with the removed YAML feature list in this issue and the discussion from PR #908. Search the repository for existing rules using LoadLibrary, GetModuleHandle, GetModuleHandleEx, or LdrLoadDll, then define the new rule around the agreed API set; done means the rule is added and validated consistently with neighboring rules.
