Scan applications without default port

It could be possible that this here doesn’t work against newer PostgreSQL versions anymore:

greenbone/openvas-scanner/blob/v22.7.6/nasl/nasl_builtin_find_service.c#L1986-L1989


      
          else if (!strncmp (line, "efatal", 6)
                   || !strncmp (line, "einvalid packet length",
                                strlen ("einvalid packet length")))
            mark_postgresql (desc, port);

You could try to modify postgresql_detect.nasl to replace:

  script_require_ports("Services/postgresql", 5432);

by:

  script_require_ports("Services/postgresql", "Services/unknown", 5432);

and:

port = unknownservice_get_port(default:5432);

with the following below as a follow-up to see if this is working out for your case.
