+1, it seems like a clear oversight that the GSSENC patches didn't adjust
these messages.  The reason SSL state is mentioned is that it's relevant
to which pg_hba entry gets chosen; and once we invented "hostgssenc"
entries, GSSENC state is also relevant.  I'm not sure though if we want
to spell it like "GSSENC on", or "GSS encryption on", or something else.
Stephen or other onlookers, any comments?

I don't see how it explains Mikael's later tests, but maybe I'm missing
something.
