Thanks, I'll post a rebased version on top of this soon.

Another option could be to roll SSL config into PostgresNode and expose SSL
connections to every subsystem tested with TAP. Something like:

    $node = get_new_node(..);
    $node->setup_ssl(..);
    $node->set_certificate(..);

That is a fair bit more work though, but perhaps we could then easier find
(and/or prevent) bugs like the one fixed in a45bc8a4f6495072bc48ad40a5aa03.
