Description
As stated in #743 it would be good to have the possibility to set x509 extensions on the automatic tunnel provisioning certificates.
e.g. I use the certificate not just as client certificates to connect to the openwisp server but also as server certificates for clients connecting to the openwrt router devices. -> and to "harden" the openvpn connection i use remote-cert-tls server option (see the OpenVPN manual)
Thanks

Research direction
Start by reading issue #743 and trace the automatic tunnel provisioning certificate flow in the repository. Check how the certificates are generated and compare the needed extensions with the OpenVPN manual. Done means users can configure x509 extensions so the resulting certificates support both client and server use cases.
