Is ssl_crl_file "SSL server cert revocation list"?

As discussed in the thread [1]/messages/by-id/20211202.134619.1052008069537649171.horikyota.ntt@gmail.com, I find the wording "SSL server
certificate revocation list" as misleading or plain wrong.

I used to read it as "SSL server certificate (of PostgreSQL client)
revocation list" but I find it misleading-ish from fresh eyes. So I'd
like to propose a change of the doc as attached.

What do you think about this?

FWIW, I'm convinced that that's plain wrong after finding some
occurances of "(SSL) client certificate" in the doc.

I agree with this, the concepts have been a bit muddled.

While in there I noticed that we omitted mentioning sslcrldir in a few cases.
The attached v2 adds these and removes the whitespace changes from your patch
for easier review.

This change looks correct to me.
