What
Add new report generation for delta reports. The new report generation is enabled by changing the setting of "Delta Reports Version" to 2.
The new delta report generation gets the results for both reports in a single iterator instead of using two iterators.
It also changes how the "new" and "gone" status are determined by considering the first report the recent one and the delta report the older one and considering results with only changed severity, QoD or hostname as "changed" instead of "new" and "gone".
The result port "package" is handled the same as "general/tcp" for the delta comparison.
Why
The old version of delta report generation was based on the sort order which was not reliable.
The change in "new" and "gone" status was done to make it more consistent with how Alerts handle delta reports.
The port handling was adjusted so Notus results are not shown as "new"/"gone" when compared to a report without Notus.
