HTTP/2: fixed closed_nodes overflow (ticket #1708).

With large http2_max_concurrent_streams or http2_max_concurrent_pushes, more
than 255 ngx_http_v2_node_t structures might be allocated, eventually leading
to h2c->closed_nodes overflow when closing corresponding streams.  This will
in turn result in additional allocations in ngx_http_v2_get_node_by_id().

While mostly harmless, it can result in excessive memory usage by a HTTP/2
connection, notably in configurations with many keepalive_requests allowed.
Fix is to use ngx_uint_t for h2c->closed_nodes instead of unsigned:8.
