I'm with Robert: the names are fine as-is. We've not had complaints
about the libpq SSL parameters being confusingly like server-side SSL
parameters, for instance.

It might be a good idea to add a sentence to the documentation, though,
just pointing out that these control client-side keepalive probes rather
than server-side.
