Motivation:
ACME, or Automatic Certificate Management Environment, supports
responding to challenges via a TLS handshake. During this handshake, the
TLS server must respond with a self-signed certificate that contain a
special 'acmeIdentifier' extension.

Modification:
Add a method to `CertificateBuilder` for adding such 'acmeIdentifier'
extensions, and include brief documentation on how to use it.

Result:
The pkitesting module can be used to experiment with the TLS-ALPN-01
ACME challenge method.
