Re: Add ssl_(supported|shared)_groups to sslinfo

Hi

Given that sslinfo is designed to expose diagnostic information
about the current TLS connection, I am supportive of extending
its functionality.

Just some comments about the patch:

It is possible that SSL_get_negotiated_group() and
SSL_get_shared_group() would return NID_undef when there is no
negotiated group. The current code will pass that to
SSL_group_to_name() and raise an error if it returns NULL.

Instead of failing the whole function, would it be better to
just omit that row since the function returns a SETOF record?

if nid == NID_undef, we could just omit the row instead of
making a call to SSL_group_to_name(), which most likely will
fail.

Also, I found a small typo on documentation:

> Lisf of named groups shared with the server side.

should be corrected to:

List of named groups shared with the server side.

thanks!
