WebSockets over HTTP/2

Implement support for WebSockets over HTTP/2 in Chromium according to specification, see most recent draft at https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-h2-websockets-00. This would only be used for secure WebSockets requests, and only if there is already an HTTP/2 connection where the server has already advertised support for WebSockets over HTTP/2 via the HTTP/2 SETTINGS parameter defined in the specification.
