Description

If a client connects to a server that doesn't respond with HTTP2, it currently returns protocol error: frame with invalid size. While technically correct, this is as clear as mud. This should really be some sort of handshake error, perhaps with the frame with invalid size error as the source().

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by tracing the handshake response handling and the source of the frame with invalid size error; done means a peer that does not use HTTP/2 produces a clearer handshake error while preserving the original error as its source.
