fix(http2): achieve 100% h2spec compliance (146/146 tests)

- Send GOAWAY with correct error codes for protocol violations
- Handle StreamClosedError and FlowControlError gracefully
- Return False instead of raising for missing/closed streams
- Handle flow control window overflow per RFC 7540
- Fix reader race condition and add h2 exception handling
- Wait for WINDOW_UPDATE when flow control window is zero/negative
- Use h2 exception's error_code for INITIAL_WINDOW_SIZE violations
