I just noticed that if you have libpq with SSL support, but psql
without, we don't print any SSL information at all. Would it be
worthwhile to have it print that SSL is in use, even if we can't print
the details about the connection?

It's not something that's very common outside development scenarios, but
 it would be trivial to implement. And the net would probably be a
code-win, since we could remove a number of #ifdef USE_SSL and replace
them with one - see attached (untested so may have typos) patch.
