endpoint: Support HTTP/2 #190

HTTP2 enables connection multiplexing, which would be a huge game changer for our purposes. Since widgets are ping-ponging back and forth to the server as they're loaded, keeping connections open and reusing them would result in a massive increase in performance.

There's a fundamental roadblock here, namely WSGI is not compatible with HTTP/2. Werkzeug is a WSGI library, so it's never going to support HTTP/2. If we stay on the Python train, looks like ASGI is the future of gateway interfaces in Python; and the future is here.

Golang bakes this in out of the box.
