[pgpool-hackers: 3638] SSL connection in health check etc.

[Tatsuo Ishii]

Health check process connects to PostgreSQL backend without using
SSL. This means password for connecting PostgreSQL database is flying
on the wire in plain text. Same thing can be said to the streaming
replication delay check worker process. It would be nice if health
check and streaming replication delay check worker process use SSL if
requested by backend.

I have added this to the TODO list.
