We ignore "local" even if the system doesn't have Unix-domain sockets.
We ignore IPvN entries even if listen_addresses doesn't contain any IPvN
addresses (this could be considered equivalent to ssl = on/off).

In my experience, it is best to ignore these things.  You don't lose
anything -- if you don't have SSL configured, no one is going to connect
with SSL -- and at best you're going to annoy admins who want to
configure systems consistently.
