It's definitely not a new problem, but we hadn't recognized it before,
so it qualifies as a new bug. The question at hand was whether anyone
was excited enough about it to try to push a fix in for 8.2. Seems like
nobody is, so let's just put it on TODO:
* Fix libpq SSL retry to avoid useless repeat connection attempts and ensuing misleading error messages
