Indeed.  It is completely stupid to do this in any other way except
by reinstating ssl_renegotiation_limit as an ordinary GUC variable
whose min and max are both zero.

Quite aside from the implementation effort of inventing some
single-purpose kluge to do it another way, that solution would also
cover the complaints we're doubtless gonna get that "SET
ssl_renegotiation_limit = 0" doesn't work anymore.
        regards, tom lane
