Concretely, what about doing the following instead?  This doesn't provide
any mechanism for the DBA to adjust the logging behavior; but reducing
log_min_messages to DEBUG1 would not be a very pleasant way to monitor for
zero-data connections either, so I'm not that fussed about just dropping
the message period for that case.  I kind of like that we no longer need
the weird special case for SSLdone.
