How about:

"features": ["ssk"]     // test makes use of SSK's
"features": ["pipes", "ssk"]     // test uses both Noise Pipes and SSK's

If a test runner does not recognize a feature, it issues a warning and
moves onto the next test.  Another possible tag name: "extensions".

I don't consider the handshake hash to be an extension feature - I see it
as a core protocol function.  But that's just me.  The test runner can
still run a test if it doesn't understand the "handshake_hash" key.  But it
cannot run a test with the "ssk" feature if it doesn't know what SSK's are.

Cheers,

Rhys.
