[GENERAL] A better error message for reject option in pg_hba.conf

(This is a very minor thing, but still...)

Suppose we have this line in pg_hba.conf:

local all all reject

Now:

$ psql template1 -U postgres

psql: FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "[local]", user "postgres",
database "template1", SSL off

Actually there *is* an entry for local, user postgres and database
template1 -- but it is a reject. Should we improve this message and
return an error actually?

...or am I overlooking something?
