Description

I'd like to use settings that aren't supported by this library. Experimenting locally it seems fairly trivial to track custom settings in a (u16, u32) map. I'd be happy to contribute the change. One thing I wonder is whether you should have to specify settings IDs that you will accept, so that a misbehaved remote cannot fill up your local settings with 65k entries.

Research direction

Start by locating the HTTP/2 SETTINGS handling and its tests in the h2 repository, then trace how setting IDs and values are currently validated and stored. Clarify whether unknown settings are accepted and how storage is bounded; done should include an agreed behavior, implementation coverage, and tests for custom settings and the limit.
