AFAIK Postgres doesn't support session resumption.  If I am correctly
understanding what that is supposed to provide, it would require saving
all of a backend's internal state on the off chance that somebody would
request resuming the session later.  I do not think we are going there.
The idea makes sense for servers with relatively lightweight per-session
state, but that ain't us.

I think what you need to do is tell SslStream not to expect that PG
servers will do session resumption.  (I'm a bit astonished that that
would be its default assumption in the first place, but whatever.)
