Original Issue: hapijs/hapi#3830

What you expect:

No error should be thrown. The connection header should be ignored by the http2 module.

What actually happens:

An error is thrown.

Description:

ERR_HTTP2_INVALID_CONNECTION_HEADERS error seems to break the http2 compatibility API. By adding a connection header to an http2 response, the ERR_HTTP2_INVALID_CONNECTION_HEADERS error is thrown. Seeing as http2 is supposed to be backwards compatible with http1, shouldn't http2 just ignore the connection header?

MDN states:

Also, Connection and Keep-Alive are ignored in HTTP/2; connection management is handled by other mechanisms there.
