Hybrid Forward Secrecy

Description

New modifiers and tokens for KEM-based hybrid forward secrecy.

Status

An unofficial/unstable extension spec exists.

We want this to be consistent with an eventual "multi-algorithm" approaches that allows arbitrary mixing of KEMs, signatures, and DH. But we probably have a good enough idea of what token syntax for KEMs will look like that we can move ahead now with a simple modifier for this special case.
