http2: addtl http/2 settings

Currently, node.js http/2 is limited in sending SETTINGs,
that are currently implemented by nghttp2.
However, nghttp2 has the ability to send arbitary SETTINGs,
that are not known beforehand.
This patch adds this feature including a fall back mechanism,
if a SETTING is implemented in a later nghttp2 or node version.

Fixes: #1337
