Completed Server - Upgrade code to HTTP/2 (HTTP/1.1 successor)

[anderbytes 140]

As seen in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP/2 and lot of other IT sites.... it is known that HTTP/2 is coming as upgrade to HTTP/1.1 and has tons of benefits over the 1999's deprecated 1.1 version.

 

Some sites already implement it (Akamai, Cloudfare...) and benefits on speed are remarkable.

 

Probably is too soon to implement it on Emby... but I'd like to suggest it to be something to be studied, because soon we will be hearing more about it.

If devs only acknowledge the existence of this (for using in the future)... I'll be already happy.
