Description:
WB has an option, "Use SSL if available".  However, it seems to behave like the --ssl flag as implemented by mysql clients, and is effectively a no-op.  When connected to a MySQL server which has SSL configured, but where WB has no defined SSL artifacts (CA file, cert, key, etc.), no SSL is used.

How to repeat:
Check the "use SSL if available" box.
Connect, check SSL usage (SHOW GLOBAL STATUS LIKE 'Ssl_cipher')

Suggested fix:
Make WB use SSL where possible, when this option is checked.
