GOV.UK PaaS gives us the database URI, and we use the default mode of
postgres auth which prefers a TLS connection instead of a plain TCP
connection
We are now specifying the SSL mode in the URI when establishing our
connection to the database, so that:
* We will not connect to the database via a plaintext connection
* We will verify the database connection against a list of trusted CAs
The RDS CA from which the database's certificate is issued is added into
the Cloud Foundry app container via
