Description
Similarly to #7240, this PR removes an instance of a possessive qualifier. Possessive qualifiers aren't supported in re2, hence this PR increases portability of Linguist's heuristics.
Removing this from the NASL heuristic could theoretically reduce performance, but due to the fact that the possessive qualifier is close to the end of the regex and that the structure of the regex prevents multple branching while backtracking, this change should be unnoticable in practice.
Note that with this PR and #7242, Linguist's heuristics should now be fully compatible with RE2's syntax except for
Vim Help File,Hosts FileandAdblock Filter List. 🎉Checklist:
