Yeah... Any thoughts on a better scheme? require_auth was meant to
lock down overly general authentication; maybe a require_proto or
something could do the same for the transport?

I hate that we have so many options that most people don't need but
take precedence, especially when they're based on the existence of
magic third-party environmental cues (e.g. Kerberos caches). And it
was nice that we got sslrootcert=system to turn on strong security and
reject nonsensical combinations. If someone sets `requiredirect` and
leaves the default sslmode, or chooses a weaker one... Is that really
useful to someone?
