NGINX-QUIC, ALPN offering only Http/1.1 and h2, but not h3

Hello all,

I played around with nginx-quic branch, following the blog post here
https://www.nginx.com/blog/our-roadmap-quic-http-3-support-nginx/

I have trouble to get my browser to use http3 with the server. I checked
with CURL http3 enabled - there it works when providing the http3 option,
it does not when using --alt-svc option.
I assume it's a configuration issue, or an issue with self-signed
certificates, ...


What did I do:
1. Build Docker (copy from blogpost) and generate self signed certs.

```
COPY ./nginx/csr.conf /root/csr.conf
COPY ./nginx/cert.pass /etc/keys/cert.pass

# generate self signed certificate
RUN openssl genrsa -aes128 -passout "pass:supersecure" -out ca.key 4096
RUN openssl req -new -config csr.conf -key ca.key -out ca.csr -passin
"pass:supersecure"
RUN openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in ca.csr -signkey ca.key -out ca.crt
-passin "pass:supersecure"

# copy them to /etc/ssl/
RUN cp ca.crt /etc/ssl/certs/
RUN cp ca.key /etc/ssl/private/
RUN cp ca.csr /etc/ssl/private/

# setup ssl config
COPY ./nginx/ssl.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/ssl.conf

EXPOSE 80 443
```

2. Run the Docker with
docker run -it --rm -p 443:443/udp -p 443:443/tcp nginx_quic

Testing:

Using HTTP3 enabled curl ends up in:
``` curl -k -vvv --alt-svc altsvc.cache https://localhost:443
*   Trying 127.0.0.1:443...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 443 (#0)
* ALPN, offering h2
* ALPN, offering http/1.1
* successfully set certificate verify locations:
*   CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
  CApath: /etc/ssl/certs
* TLSv1.3 (OUT), TLS handshake, Client hello (1):
* OpenSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL in connection to localhost:443
* Closing connection 0
curl: (35) OpenSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL in connection to
localhost:443
```


using http3 option on curl works as expected:
```
./curl -v --http3 https://localhost:443/
*   Trying 127.0.0.1:443...
* Connect socket 5 over QUIC to 127.0.0.1:443
* Connected to localhost () port 443 (#0)
* Using HTTP/3 Stream ID: 0 (easy handle 0x55c46567b290)

> Host: localhost
> user-agent: curl/7.79.0-DEV
> accept: */*

* ngh3_stream_recv returns 0 bytes and EAGAIN

Any Idea how to solve this?
