http2: validate initialWindowSize per HTTP/2 spec by mcollina · Pull Request #61402 · nodejs/node

The HTTP/2 spec (RFC 7540) defines SETTINGS_INITIAL_WINDOW_SIZE
maximum as 2^31-1. Values above this must be treated as a
FLOW_CONTROL_ERROR. Previously, Node.js allowed values up to
2^32-1 which caused nghttp2_submit_settings() to return
NGHTTP2_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT, triggering an uncatchable
assertion failure and crashing the process.

This change adds proper validation to reject values >= 2^31
with a catchable RangeError before they reach nghttp2.
