http2: limit number of rejected stream openings

Limit the number of streams that are rejected upon creation. Since
each such rejection is associated with an `NGHTTP2_ENHANCE_YOUR_CALM`
error that should tell the peer to not open any more streams,
continuing to open streams should be read as a sign of a misbehaving
peer. The limit is currently set to 100 but could be changed or made
configurable.

This is intended to mitigate CVE-2019-9514.
