Bug#859930: apt-transport-https: Add http/2 support



Hello

I also think HTTP/2 could be useful in APT

Here is my regular  "apt update" output:

~#  apt update

I skipped about 170 lines of small, less than 50K files, they all could
be downloaded in parallel, instead of sequential order.
And I am downloading from HTTP/2 capable mirror (AWS CloudFront).

Unfortunately I'm not a developer, but let me know if I can help with
anything.
