I note that this and the transport parameters and HRR stuff below
necessitate the generic changes to the TLS library to permit adding
extra extensions. I wonder if it might make life better to just have a
canned set of parameters for now. It's not that it's a lot of work,
it's just that it's not critical path otherwise.

This is inconsistent with not requiring exporters above. As far
as I can tell, if you're not doing NST, you don't need post-handshake
packets anyway here, so you can probably skip this.
