Document parameter sslmode and implications

[maffe]

The documentation doesn’t mention the parameter sslmode. While setting up a PostgreSQL environment, I came across http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/libpq-ssl.html#LIBPQ-SSL-SSLMODE-STATEMENTS. I included sslmode=verify-full in my JDBC connection parameters which does affect the JDBC driver (a different SSLSocketFactory is used). The most obvious effect was that the server CA certificate in the default Java truststore is ignored, instead it has to be in ~/.postgresql/root.crt.

More specifically it defaults to there if the sslrootcert property is null
