Are you proposing to bump up the protocol version (either major or minor)? I am asking because it seems you are going to introduce some new message types.
It wouldn't be a new major version. It could either be a new minor version, or it would be guarded by a _pq_ protocol message to enable this functionality from the client, as described. Or both? We haven't done this sort of thing a lot, so some discussion on the details might be necessary.
