Yeah, if there is no separate slot, then EE cert slot is the most
logical.

Perhaps also put server_certificate_type/client_certificate_type
there? That would eliminate the anomaly that one must know the
server certificate type before sending the certiifcate.

However, with client_certificate_type, one has to be careful, since
server support also matters. So presumably one would have server
send a list of supported formats.
