Is TLS1.3 support missing the "certificate_authorities" extension?

Hi,

I was working on an implementation of the Certificate Authorities TLS
extension (former Trusted CAs) a few months ago. I stopped this work
because of the integration of TLS 1.3.

Here it's my latest patch:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sgehwolf/webrevs/mbalaoal/JDK-8046295/webrev.03/

May be useful to resume the work. Note that this patch won't apply
because code changed after TLS 1.3.

Kind regards,
Martin.-
