lib/promrelabel: stop adding default port 80/433 to address label

*  It was necessary to add default ports for fasthttp client. After migration to the std.httpclient it's no longer needed.
* An additional configuration is required at proxy servers with implicitly set 80/443 ports to the host header (such as HA proxy.

It's expected that after upgrade __address_ label may change. But it should be rare case. 80/443 ports are not widely used at monitoring ecosystem. And it shouldn't have much impact.

 ## tip
 
 **Update note 1: The `external_labels` field in vmalert-tool [test file](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert-tool/#test-file-format) will be deprecated soon. Please use `-external.label` command-line flag instead, in the same way as vmalert uses it. This change is done for the sake of consistency between vmalert and vmalert-tool configuration. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/6735).**
+**Update note 2: starting from this release, [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent/) and [Single-node VictoriaMetrics](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/) will no longer add the default port 80/443 for scrape URLs without a specified port. 
+The value of `instance` label for those scrape targets will be changed from `<address>:<80|443>` to `<address>`, generating new time series. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/6792) for details.**
 
 * FEATURE: add `/influx/health` health-check handler for Influx endpoints. This is needed as some clients use the health endpoint to determine if the server is healthy and ready for data ingestion. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/6653) for the details.
 * FEATURE: [vmctl](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmctl/): add `--vm-backoff-retries`, `--vm-backoff-factor`, `--vm-backoff-min-duration` and `--vm-native-backoff-retries`, `--vm-native-backoff-factor`, `--vm-native-backoff-min-duration` command-line flags. These flags allow to change backoff policy config for import requests to VictoriaMetrics. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/6622).
 * FEATURE: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent/): allow overriding the `sample_limit` option at [scrape_configs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/sd_configs/#scrape_configs) when a label `__sample_limit__` is specified for target. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/6665). Thanks to @zoglam for the [pull request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/6666).
 * FEATURE: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent/): reduce memory usage when scraping targets with big response body. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/6759).
+* FEATURE: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent/) and [Single-node VictoriaMetrics](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/): stop adding default port 80/443 for scrape URLs without a port. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/6792).
 * FEATURE: [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert/): add command-line flag `-notifier.headers` to allow configuring additional headers for all requests sent to the corresponding `-notifier.url`.
 * FEATURE: [vmalert-tool](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert-tool/): add `-external.label` and `-external.url` command-line flags, in the same way as these flags are supported by vmalert. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/6735).
 * FEATURE: [vmbackup](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmbackup/), [vmrestore](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmrestore/), [vmbackupmanager](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmbackupmanager/): use exponential backoff for retries when uploading or downloading data from S3. This should reduce the number of failed uploads and downloads when S3 is temporarily unavailable. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/6732).
