I prefer #2. I don't think encryption is necessarily required for this, but 
EncryptedExtensions is fine too (Martin's 2b).

I'm generally against putting it in CertificateRequest, as we're reusing an 
existing hello extension so keeping it in a hello message (or it's trailing 
encrypted field) seems best. (restricted to TLS 1.3+ clients, though)
