nginx: fix CVE-2023-44487
The HTTP/2 protocol allows a denial of service (server resource consumption) because request cancellation can reset many streams quickly, as exploited in the wild in August through October 2023.

Subject: [PATCH] HTTP/2: per-iteration stream handling limit. To ensure that
5+
attempts to flood servers with many streams are detected early, a limit of no
6+
more than 2 * max_concurrent_streams new streams per one event loop iteration
7+
was introduced. This limit is applied even if max_concurrent_streams is not
8+
yet reached - for example, if corresponding streams are handled synchronously
9+
or reset.
10+
11+
Further, refused streams are now limited to maximum of max_concurrent_streams
12+
and 100, similarly to priority_limit initial value, providing some tolerance
13+
to clients trying to open several streams at the connection start, yet
14+
low tolerance to flooding attempts.
15+
16+
