What is the purpose of this PR / why it is needed?

Events can end up decorated with more than one sequence value. For example, a freshly created process can be assigned the ps.uuid or ps.name join field, and the rule engine would effectively override the last matched event. For this reason, it is necessary to allow sequence value sets so that that sequence matching can consider multiple values extracted from the join field.

field, and the rule engine would effectively override
