The gRPC proxy module.

The module allows passing requests to upstream gRPC servers. The
module is built by default as long as HTTP/2 support is compiled in.
Example configuration:

    grpc_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;

Alternatively, the "grpc://" scheme can be used:

    grpc_pass grpc://127.0.0.1:9000;

Keepalive support is available via the upstream keepalive module.
Note that keepalive connections won't currently work with grpc-go as
it fails to handle SETTINGS_HEADER_TABLE_SIZE.

To use with SSL:

    grpc_pass grpcs://127.0.0.1:9000;

SSL connections use ALPN "h2" when available.  At least grpc-go
works fine without ALPN, so if ALPN is not available we just
establish a connection without it.

Tested with grpc-c++ and grpc-go.
