Support HTTP/2

[dremerten]

Currently ascli uses HTTP/1

HTTP/2

-Binary Protocol: HTTP/2 uses a binary format for data, which is more efficient for computers to parse and reduces overhead.

• Multiplexing: Multiple requests and responses can be sent simultaneously over a single connection without blocking each other, improving performance.
• Header Compression: HTTP/2 uses HPACK compression to reduce the size of HTTP headers, leading to less bandwidth usage and faster requests.
• Stream Prioritization: It allows clients to prioritize streams, enabling better resource allocation based on the importance of different requests.

Reason for the ask is I was running into issues where my AWS Load-Balancer expected HTTP/2

Example: - Getting a 464 response for mis-match

Yes, nice to have. but ruby's embedded net-http gem does not support HTTP/2. gem httpx might be a solution.
