There's a minor clarification here. A downstream distributor can
provide additional permissions when they add code, but those permissions
are only applicable to the new code:
"You may place additional permissions on material, added by you to a
covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright
permission."
This means the program as a whole is still GPLv3 (or GPLv3+previous
permissions that covered the whole program)
