patch for login issue

In gsad ebuild we need to patch files to address those issues:
https://forum.greenbone.net/t/gsad-problems/13121
https://forum.greenbone.net/t/kali-cant-create-gvm-user-throws-an-error-failed-to-create-user-invalid-characters-in-user-name/13062/51?page=3

The problem on starting gsad service via systemd arise allways and the service fails with lines like

gsad main:CRITICAL:2023-05-01 08h35.50 utc:856890: main: Could not write PID file.

reported in log file.

The problem arising on user creation (reported in linked post) has to be addressed in gvmd (I sent a patch on a related bug), but the same problem needs to be addressed in gsad.

In the attached patch I introduced these github commits:

# systemd start
https://github.com/greenbone/gsad/pull/84/files

# login issue
