Well, that was a bit of a challenge but I did find out it's a EDNS
field, CPE stands for "Customer-premises Equipment" and that field is in
an IANA unassigned range but, apparently, used by DNS providers to
identify their clients/accounts.  So what do you think about:

  If set, add a CPE (Customer-Premises Equipment) identifier to DNS
  queries which are forwarded upstream.

I don't want to dwell on the unofficial status too much.  Also, I
changed the field name from additional-cpe-id to just cpe-id because
"additional" seems a bit redundant.

WDYT?
