OK, I have created an SGML table to show the sslmode options. While
doing that I found that 'disable' was misstated as "attempt only an
unencrypted SSL connection". Neither Magnus nor I know what an
unencrypted SSL connection is, so we assume it is an error. I have
instead replaced it with "try a non-SSL connection".

When this was a paragraph it was hard to see that mistake; in an SGML
table it was obvious.

Patch attached and applied.
