Tests pass for me too, including LibreSSL 3.8.

I think this should say timestamptz rather than text? Ditto for the
pg_stat_ssl documentation.

Speaking of which: is the use of `timestamp` rather than `timestamptz`
in pg_proc.dat intentional? Will that cause problems with comparisons?

I haven't been able to poke any holes in the ASN1_TIME_to_timestamp()
implementations themselves. I went down a rabbit hole trying to find out
whether leap seconds could cause problems for us when we switch to
`struct tm` in the future, but it turns out OpenSSL rejects leap seconds
in the Validity fields. That seems weird -- as far as I can tell, RFC
5280 defers to ASN.1 which defers to ISO 8601 which appears to allow
leap seconds -- but I don't plan to worry about it anymore. (I do idly
wonder whether some CA, somewhere, has ever had a really Unhappy New
Year due to that.)
