Re: #557: Intra-message HEADERS frames

Agree with PHK here. Since the decision has been made not to have an
end-to-end extensibility model in the framing layer, ignored
interspersed HEADERS frames that are not flow-controlled become a DoS
vector. At this point, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to
have interspersed HEADERS frames.
