v1.10.0-beta.1 - HTTP/2 client beta release 1

This is a BETA RELEASE of our HTTP/2 client. As it is difficult for us to test our client against all possible situations. The beta release is meant for people to experiment and try our HTTP/2 client and report what does and does not work. This beta branch is synced with our main branch at least once per (beta) release.

Please help us test our HTTP/2 implementation. Open an issue and tag @marty1885 if you found any.

Comment on our compatibility tracker if you like. This allows us to gather a list of known working sites :)

BR, Martin Chang

• HttpRequest::setVersion() deprecated and has no affect.
• HTTP version in client is no longer controlled by req->setVersion() but with newHttpClient(...., DESIRED_HTTP_VERSION)
