DOC: configuration: remove obsolete mentions of H2 being converted to HTTP/1.x

Browse Source 
The first H2 implementation in version 1.8 used to turn HTTP/2 requests
to HTTP/1.1, causing many limitations. This is not true anymore and we
don't suffer from the lack of server-side H2 nor are we forced to close
mode anymore, so let's remove such obsolete mentions.

This could be backported to 2.0.

@ -201,11 +201,6 @@ HAProxy supports 4 connection modes :
- server close : the server-facing connection is closed after the response.
- close : the connection is actively closed after end of response.
For HTTP/2, the connection mode resembles more the "server close" mode : given
the independence of all streams, there is currently no place to hook the idle
server connection after a response, so it is closed after the response. HTTP/2
is only supported for incoming connections, not on connections going to
servers.
1.2. HTTP request
@ -274,10 +269,6 @@ specific to the language, framework or application in use.
HTTP/2 doesn't convey a version information with the request, so the version is
assumed to be the same as the one of the underlying protocol (i.e. "HTTP/2").
However, haproxy natively processes HTTP/1.x requests and headers, so requests
received over an HTTP/2 connection are transcoded to HTTP/1.1 before being
processed. This explains why they still appear as "HTTP/1.1" in haproxy's logs
as well as in server logs.
1.2.2. The request headers

Contrary to a common misconception, header names are not case-sensitive, and
their values are not either if they refer to other header names (such as the
"Connection:" header). In HTTP/2, header names are always sent in lower case,
as can be seen when running in debug mode.
as can be seen when running in debug mode. Internally, all header names are
normalized to lower case so that HTTP/1.x and HTTP/2 use the exact same
representation, and they are sent as-is on the other side. This explains why an
HTTP/1.x request typed with camel case is delivered in lower case.
The end of the headers is indicated by the first empty line. People often say
that it's a double line feed, which is not exact, even if a double line feed
