For servers we want to prefer CHACHA20 over AESGCM iff both sides have
AES-NI and CLMUL. A server on a device such as a RPi benefits from
CHACHA20, too. For that reason I also changed the server side cipher string.

As you already said, there is no way to express this with OpenSSL cipher
suite string.
