By "negotiation" I mean the server's response to the startup packet.
I.e. "supported"/"not supported"/"error".

For GSS encryption, it was my vague understanding that older servers
respond with an error rather than the "not supported" indication. For
TLS, though, the decision in a49fbaaf (immediate failure) seemed
reasonable.
