Subject: [PATCH] CVE-2023-44487 - HTTP/2: per-iteration stream handling limit.
To ensure that attempts to flood servers with many streams are detected
early, a limit of no more than 2 * max_concurrent_streams new streams per one
event loop iteration was introduced. This limit is applied even if
max_concurrent_streams is not yet reached - for example, if corresponding
streams are handled synchronously or reset.
Further, refused streams are now limited to maximum of max_concurrent_streams
and 100, similarly to priority_limit initial value, providing some tolerance
to clients trying to open several streams at the connection start, yet
low tolerance to flooding attempts.
