Re: Final DATA frames

I don't want to derail this too much(probably too late for that), and no
one has a PR anywhere close to landing, but I do think we should start
thinking of these as potential extensions.  I disagree that they're
HTTP/2's primary features, both due to lack of use and lack of measurable
benefits years after standardization.  Push might actually benefit from
being an extension, because then potential improvements(ie: cache-digest)
could be integrated into the extension more quickly.

On the other hand, QPACK is relatively complex but we have clearer
demonstrations of it's benefit.
