Since there is disagreement over this, we should either 1) go ahead with the
latest patch without an env var and revisit the discussion during v19; 2)
adding the env var back into the patch as PGSSLKEYLOGFILE or; 3) postponing all
of this till v19?

Personally I think this feature has enough value even without the env var to
not postpone it, especially since adding an env var in 19 will still be
backwards compatible.  I would go for option 1 to stay on the safe side and
allow time for proper discussion, any other thoughts?
