Improve PostgreSQL unix socket path handling for custom socket files

Enhances the path handling logic in the PostgreSQL adapter to better support
custom socket file paths while maintaining backward compatibility.

## Current behavior (main branch)
The original code always appends `/.s.PGSQL.${port}` to any path:
```typescript
if (path && path?.indexOf("/.s.PGSQL.") === -1) {
  path = `${path}/.s.PGSQL.${port}`;
}
```

Examples:
- `"/var/run/postgresql"` → `"/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"` ✅ (correct)
- `"/tmp/postgres.sock"` → `"/tmp/postgres.sock/.s.PGSQL.5432"` ❌ (invalid path)

## Improved behavior
Now distinguishes between directory and file paths:
```typescript
if (path && path.indexOf("/.s.PGSQL.") === -1) {
  if (path.endsWith("/") || (!path.includes(".") && !path.includes("sock"))) {
    path = `${path}/.s.PGSQL.${port}`;
  }
  // Otherwise use path as-is
}
```

Examples:
- `"/var/run/postgresql"` → `"/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"` ✅ (unchanged)
- `"/tmp/postgres.sock"` → `"/tmp/postgres.sock"` ✅ (now correct)
- `"/var/run/postgresql/"` → `"/var/run/postgresql//.s.PGSQL.5432"` ✅

## Impact
- **Maintains compatibility**: Standard directory paths work exactly as before
- **Enables custom sockets**: Users can now specify complete socket file paths
- **Related to #20729**: Improves path handling though the connection issue may have other causes
