Description
Hi,
openssl provides an API to add custom extensions on ClientHello/ServerHello messages through SSL_CTX_add_server_custom_ext / SSL_CTX_add_client_custom_ext ( https://www.openssl.org/docs/ssl/SSL_CTX_add_server_custom_ext.html ). Is there a way to do something like this with pyopenssl?

Research direction
Start by comparing pyOpenSSL's exposed API with OpenSSL's SSL_CTX_add_server_custom_ext and SSL_CTX_add_client_custom_ext functions for ClientHello and ServerHello messages. Determine the intended Python-facing callback and extension behavior; done means pyOpenSSL provides a usable way to register custom extensions.
