feat(http2): add adaptive window size support using BDP

This adds support for calculating the Bandwidth-delay product when using
HTTP2. When a DATA frame is received, a PING is sent to the remote.
While the PING acknoledgement is outstanding, the amount of bytes of all
received DATA frames is accumulated. Once we receive the PING
acknowledgement, we calculate the BDP based on the number of received
bytes and the round-trip-time of the PING. If we are near the current
maximum window size, the size is doubled.

This currently only adds support to the `Client`. It's disabled by
default until tested more extensively.
