Willy Tarreau 3dd963b35f BUG/MINOR: mux-h2: fix http-request and http-keep-alive timeouts again
Stefan Behte reported that since commit f279a2f14 ("BUG/MINOR: mux-h2:
refresh the idle_timer when the mux is empty"), the http-request and
http-keep-alive timeouts don't work anymore on H2. Before this patch,
and since 3e448b9b64 ("BUG/MEDIUM: mux-h2: make sure control frames do
not refresh the idle timeout"), they would only be refreshed after stream
frames were sent (HEADERS or DATA) but the patch above that adds more
refresh points broke these so they don't expire anymore as long as
there's some activity.

We cannot just revert the fix since it also addressed an isse by which
sometimes the timeout would trigger too early and provoque truncated
responses. The right approach here is in fact to only use refresh the
idle timer when the mux buffer was flushed from any such stream frames.

In order to achieve this, we're now setting a flag on the connection
whenever we write a stream frame, and we consider that flag when deciding
to refresh the buffer after it's emptied. This way we'll only clear that
flag once the buffer is empty and there were stream data in it, not if
there were no such stream data. In theory it remains possible to leave
the flag on if some control data is appended after the buffer and it's
never cleared, but in practice it's not a problem as a buffer will always
get sent in large blocks when the window opens. Even a large buffer should
be emptied once in a while as control frames will not fill it as much as
data frames could.

Given the patch above was backported as far as 2.6, this patch should
also be backported as far as 2.6.
