Here's a new version of the SSL regression suite I wrote earlier. It now
specifies both host and hostaddr in the connection string as Andres
suggested, so it no longer requires changes to network configuration. I
added a bunch of tests for the SAN feature that Alexey Klyukin wrote and
was committed earlier. Plus a lot of miscellaneous cleanup.

This probably needs some further cleanup before it's ready for
committing. One issues is that it creates a temporary cluster that
listens for TCP connections on localhost, which isn't safe on a
multi-user system.
