OpenSSL publishes its error codes as of openssl/sslerr.h, and it looks
like the two error codes we would need to worry about are
SSL_R_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL and SSL_R_NO_PROTOCOLS_AVAILABLE. So we
could for example amend open_client_SSL() when negotiating the SSL
connection in libpq with error messages or hints that help better than
the current state of things, but that also means an extra maintenance
on our side to make sure that we keep in sync with new error codes
coming from the OpenSSL world.
