when is stream N opened ?

If Stream N state is "idle" when "CERTIFICATE_NEEDED" and
"USE_CERTIFICATE" are sent/received, I think that this need to 
allowcexplicitly.

5.1.  Stream States
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-5.1


|   idle:
|      All streams start in the "idle" state.
|
|      The following transitions are valid from this state:
|
|      *  Sending or receiving a HEADERS frame causes the stream to
|         become "open".  The stream identifier is selected as described
|         in Section 5.1.1.  The same HEADERS frame can also cause a
|         stream to immediately become "half-closed".
|
|      *  Sending a PUSH_PROMISE frame on another stream reserves the
|         idle stream that is identified for later use.  The stream state
|         for the reserved stream transitions to "reserved (local)".
|
|      *  Receiving a PUSH_PROMISE frame on another stream reserves an
|         idle stream that is identified for later use.  The stream state
|         for the reserved stream transitions to "reserved (remote)".
|
|      *  Note that the PUSH_PROMISE frame is not sent on the idle stream
|         but references the newly reserved stream in the Promised Stream
|         ID field.
|
|      Receiving any frame other than HEADERS or PRIORITY on a stream in
|      this state MUST be treated as a connection error (Section 5.4.1)
|      of type PROTOCOL_ERROR.
