HTTP/3 (HTTP over QUIC) support

HTTP 3 has several compelling advantages over HTTP 1.1 and HTTP 2:

HTTP3 runs over QUIC, which natively supports roaming. This is especially useful for mobile clients.
HTTP3 supports native multiplexing, without the head-of-line blocking problem that HTTP2 suffers from.
HTTP3 allows congestion control to be implemented in userspace, which allows new algorithms (such as BBR) to be adopted before OS kernels get support for them.

See #28 for discussion on HTTP/2. I've no idea, but I assume HTTP3 will require mechanisms found in HTTP2 as well.

FYI, I am working on a proof of concept for HTTP3 for some research project using linuxquic. I am happy once it supports GET requests and can send back a file.
