The description for pg_hba.conf auth-options covers this. Since those two
options do not only apply to cert but any hostssl entry it was chosen to
document the ssl related options on the pg_hba.conf page. I do see value
in pointing the reader back to that location from the cert page though. Or
maybe move the wording to the cert page and replace the content in
pg_hba.conf with a link to there. Leaning toward the later ATM.
