One err option is to use the mode value which alhough not originally
intended for that use has many free bits. Bits to re-enable the sending of
time values in handshakes have been places in there for example.

An alternative is to add something to the CERT structure, either by using
existing flags (cert_flags is there in OpenSSL 1.0.2) or adding new fields.
The advantage of using CERT is that it is an opaque structure not defined in
a public header file so rearranging it internally wont affect binary
compatibility.
