It's worth pointing out also that we require server.key to be directly
in the $PGDATA directory, which means that any filesystem limitations on
its permissions info are going to apply to the $PGDATA directory itself.
Curiously enough, the access-permission checks on both $PGDATA and
$PGDATA/server.key are diked out in WIN32 builds, but I consider that
a bug we should fix, not a feature to be extended.
