[internal-branch.go1.16-vendor] http2: cap the size of the server's c…

…anonical header cache

The HTTP/2 server keeps a per-connection cache mapping header keys
to their canonicalized form (e.g., "foo-bar" => "Foo-Bar"). Cap the
maximum size of this cache to prevent a peer sending many unique
header keys from causing unbounded memory growth.

Cap chosen arbitrarily at 32 entries. Since this cache does not
include common headers (e.g., "content-type"), 32 seems like more
than enough for almost all normal uses.

Updates golang/go#50058
Fixes CVE-2021-44716
