Description
http2 improves performance in secure connections such as the chef server API connection. We should investigate enabling http2 in our nginx configuration. At the moment our clients don't support http2, but it's possible that client APIs other than Infra Client could be used which may support http2.

Check the stated client-support constraints and determine whether enabling HTTP/2 is viable for secure connections. Done means documenting the compatibility decision and the resulting implementation scope.
