As pointed out and discussed in #3250, RFC 9113 (2nd revision of HTTP/2 specification) tightened the requirements against HTTP/2 intermediaries rejecting invalid header fields.
This PR makes necessary changes so that we are conformant to the new revision. Specifically, header fields carrying values surrounded by whitespace are rejected, and also those with empty (i.e., zero-length) names.
Latter is not an explicit requirement of RFC 9113 though RFC 9110 defines field names as carrying at least one character.
