Description
I'm making curl use hyper instead of its native HTTP code.
curl supports trailers but I find no API to get them provided from hyper so until it does, I can't make curl+hyper match the native implementation in features.
Sample HTTP/1.1 response below. I want the chunky-trailer: header data part.
HTTP/1.1 200 funky chunky!
Server: fakeit/0.9 fakeitbad/1.0
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Trailer: chunky-trailer

Research direction
The issue names no files, entry points, or tests. Start by locating Hyper's C API and the existing trailer handling described in the issue, then determine how the sample HTTP/1.1 trailer should be exposed. Done means the C API can retrieve chunky-trailer: header data and the behavior matches curl's native implementation.
