I have decided that I don't want to pursue this patch anymore.  It has
served its purpose having allowed us to refine the SSL library
abstractions so that alternative implementations such as macOS Secure
Transport can go ahead.  But officially supporting GnuTLS as an
alternative to OpenSSL doesn't seem to have any practical advantages, so
I don't foresee this getting committed into PostgreSQL core.
