Clean up management of IP addresses in our SSL tests.
Instead of hard-wiring the netmask as /32, allow it to be specified where we specify the server address. This will ease changing the test to use IPv6, when/if somebody wants to do that. Also remove the hard-wired pg_hba.conf entries for IPv6 (::1/128). These have never had any usefulness, because the client side of the tests has always explicitly connected to $SERVERHOSTADDR which has always been set to IPv4 (127.0.0.1). All they accomplish is to break the test on non-IPv6-supporting hosts, and besides that they violate the express intent of the code to minimize the server's range of allowed connections. This could be back-patched, perhaps, but for now I don't see a need to. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1899.1578356089@sss.pgh.pa.us
