Description
100% of tools use default DSN VERY different from what postgres_exporter is trying to use.
It should be using local socket file, w/o password relying on ident authentication. By default it is trying to use some password, whereas postgres default way for authentication is passwordless ident.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating how postgres_exporter constructs its default DSN and compare that behavior with PostgreSQL's local socket and ident defaults. Done means the default connection uses the local socket without a password and works with ident authentication.
