Hey Valentin,
comments below. I commented only on the first occurrence, but
obviously those comments apply to all similar changes.

> -                       "http2 SETTINGS frame ack:1");
> +                       "http2 SETTINGS ACK frame");

I don't particularly like this change, since it makes it look like
this is a "SETTINGS ACK" frame, not a "SETTINGS" frame with ACK flag
set. This is even more confusing since QUIC drafts had "SETTINGS_ACK"
frame at some point.

Maybe "http2 SETTINGS frame ACK" would be more acceptable?

> +                   "http2 SETTINGS frame with %uz params",
>                     h2c->state.length / NGX_HTTP_V2_SETTINGS_PARAM_SIZE);

The extra "with" doesn't add any information, and it doesn't seem to
be inline with other debug logs, but I don't mind this change too
much.

This is fine with me, but again, the extra space doesn't seem to be
inline with other debug logs, which usually don't include space
between "key:" and "value".

> +                           id, value);

I'd prefer if we could stick to the "http2 SETTINGS" prefix here,
otherwise it won't look like part of the same frame, i.e.:

    http2 SETTINGS frame with 3 params
    http2 SETTINGS param HEADER_TABLE_SIZE: 4096
    http2 SETTINGS param INITIAL_WINDOW_SIZE: 65536
    http2 unknown SETTINGS param id:0xAA value:1234

Also, " (ignored)" part was removed, which makes it inconsistent with
other ignored parameters.

Maybe "http2 SETTINGS unknown param id:0x%Xi value:%ui (ignored)" or
"http2 SETTINGS param id:0x%Xi value:%ui (unknown, ignored)"?

Thanks!

Best regards,
Piotr Sikora
