Alt-Svc defines an HTTP/2 error code, presumably for RST_STREAM to
signal to a client that it does not believe that it is authoritative
for the resource identified in a request.

I think that this concept is a powerful one, but it doesn't belong in
HTTP/2.  This should be a new HTTP status code.

Superficially at least it seems to be a 4xx series status code,
similar in function to 404, but also very different.
