Previously, frame state wasn't saved if HEADERS frame payload
that begins with header fragment was not received at once.

The gRPC protocol makes a distinction between HEADERS frame with
the END_STREAM flag set, and a HEADERS frame followed by an empty
DATA frame with the END_STREAM flag. The latter is not permitted,
and results in errors not being propagated through nginx. Instead,
gRPC clients complain that "server closed the stream without sending
trailers" (seen in grpc-go) or "13: Received RST_STREAM with error
code 2" (seen in grpc-c).
To fix this, nginx now returns HEADERS with the END_STREAM flag if
the response length is known to be 0, and we are not expecting
any trailer headers to be added. And the response length is
explicitly set to 0 in the gRPC proxy if we see initial HEADERS frame
with the END_STREAM flag set.

According to the gRPC protocol specification, the "TE" header is used
to detect incompatible proxies, and at least grpc-c server rejects
requests without "TE: trailers".
To preserve the logic, we have to pass "TE: trailers" to the backend if
and only if the original request contains "trailers" in the "TE" header.
Note that no other TE values are allowed in HTTP/2, so we have to remove
anything else.

The module allows passing requests to upstream gRPC servers.
The module is built by default as long as HTTP/2 support is compiled in.
Example configuration:
grpc_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
Alternatively, the "grpc://" scheme can be used:
grpc_pass grpc://127.0.0.1:9000;
Keepalive support is available via the upstream keepalive module. Note
that keepalive connections won't currently work with grpc-go as it fails
to handle SETTINGS_HEADER_TABLE_SIZE.
To use with SSL:
grpc_pass grpcs://127.0.0.1:9000;
SSL connections use ALPN "h2" when available. At least grpc-go works fine
without ALPN, so if ALPN is not available we just establish a connection
without it.
Tested with grpc-c++ and grpc-go.
