Motivated by a recent complaint [1] I found the hostssl related material in
our docs quite verbose and even repetitive. Some of that is normal since
we have both an overview/walk-through section as well as a reference
section. But the overview in particular was self-repetitive. Here is a
first pass at some improvements. The commit message contains both the
intent of the patch and some thoughts/questions still being considered.

Withdrawn as this now has conflicts from recent changes and no one seems
interested in voicing an opinion on this for or against.

I've updated the commitfest entry status to "withdrawn." Feel free to
add it again anytime if you change your mind.

Thanks. Apparently I ended up with two CF entries for this and I only
withdrew one of them.
