Description
The HTTP/2 spec [calls out this case specifically](http://httpwg.org/specs/rfc7540.html#rfc.section.8.1) saying that servers MAY send the RST_STREAM. For gRPC, we are going to consider it more of a SHOULD, although clients still have to assume it is a MAY because intermediaries may in be play.

Research direction
The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the HTTP/2 trailer-handling path in grpc-java and review the linked HTTP/2 specification; done means sending RST_STREAM(NO_ERROR) after trailers when the client is not half-closed, with tests covering that state.
