RE: GOAWAY clarification

One inconsistency in the revised text:  You still say at line 2444 that initiating new requests "is inadvisable."  It's not just inadvisable, it's MUST NOT at line 2353.

I'll also note that the seamless hand-off is a perfect reason for the DRAINING frame extension that was also floated during that discussion -- DRAINING could be defined as a hint that the client should spin up a secondary connection because a GOAWAY is coming soon.  No harm if the client doesn't understand or obey it -- the loss is strictly its own.

I've updated the PR.  I think that this is *purely* clarification now.
Please confirm that this is the case.
