What if we make it so that if a pg_hosts.conf file exists, then the
ssl_cert_file/ssl_key_file configs are ignored? And by default initdb
would not create a file (or it would, but with the same default
settings that we have now). Then we don't need the new GUC. Basically
it would be:
1. If the file does not exist, use the "off" behaviour
2. If the file exists, use the "strict" behaviour
