Thanks!

Reading a few lines further down in the docs I noticed this description for the
compression parameter to PQsslAttribute:

    "If SSL compression is in use, returns the name of the compression
    algorithm, or "on" if compression is used but the algorithm is not
    known.  If compression is not in use, returns "off"."

AFAICT that has never been the case since 91fa7b4719ac, it has always just
returned "on" or "off" and never the name of the compression algorithm.  I
propose to apply the attached backpatched to make the docs align with the code.
