libcurl uses nghttp2 for its HTTP/2 support, and it can use GnuTLS, so
we can steal^winspire our implementation from that.

Based on my whole 5 mins of research, thereʼs at least one, and if
itʼs good enough for curl I guess itʼs good enough for us.

BTW, nghttp2 is MIT-licensed, would that be an issue? wget2, which is
GLPv3-or-later can use nghttp2 as well.
