The key is used only when we use SSL for the connection of
replication. As far as I examined, secure_write() renegotiates
the key if needed. Since walsender calls secure_write() when
sending the WAL to the standby, the key is renegotiated
periodically. So, I think that we don't need to worry about the
obsolescence of the key. Am I missing something?
