MINOR: h2: clarify the rules for how to convert an H2 request to HTX

The H2 request parsing is not trivial given that we have multiple
possible syntaxes. Mainly we can have :authority or not, and when
a CONNECT method is seen, :scheme and :path are missing. This mostly
updates the functions' comments and header index assignments to make
them less confusing. Functionally there is no change.

*
* The rules below deserve a bit of explanation. There tends to be some
* confusion regarding H2's authority vs the Host header. They are different
* though may sometimes be exchanged. In H2, the request line is broken into :
* - :method
* - :scheme
* - :authority
* - :path
*
* An equivalent HTTP/1.x absolute-form request would then look like :
* <:method> <:scheme>://<:authority><:path> HTTP/x.y
*
* Except for CONNECT which doesn't have scheme nor path and looks like :
* <:method> <:authority> HTTP/x.y
*
* It's worth noting that H2 still supports an encoding to map H1 origin-form
* and asterisk-form requests. These ones do not specify the authority. However
* in H2 they must still specify the scheme, which is not present in H1. Also,
* when encoding an absolute-form H1 request without a path, the path
* automatically becomes "/" except for the OPTIONS method where it
* becomes "*".
*
* As such it is explicitly permitted for an H2 client to send a request
* featuring a Host header and no :authority, though it's not the recommended
* way to use H2 for a client. It is however the only permitted way to encode
* an origin-form H1 request over H2. Thus we need to respect such differences
* as much as possible when re-encoding the H2 request into HTX.
