BUG/MINOR: mux-quic: do not close STREAM with empty FIN if no data sent
A stream may be shut without any HTX EOM reported to report a proper
closure. This is the case for QCS instances flagged with
QC_SF_UNKNOWN_PL_LENGTH. Shut is performed with an empty FIN emission
instead of a RESET_STREAM. This has been implemented since the following
patch :

BUG/MEDIUM: mux-quic: do not emit RESET_STREAM for unknown length
However, in case of HTTP/3, an empty FIN should only be done after a
full message is emitted, which requires at least a HEADERS frame. If an
empty FIN is emitted without it, client may interpret this as invalid
and close the connection. To prevent this, fallback to a RESET_STREAM
emission if no data were emitted on the stream.
This was reproduced using ngtcp2-client with 10% loss (-r 0.1) on a
remote host, with httpterm request "/?s=100k&C=1&b=0&P=400". An error
ERR_H3_FRAME_UNEXPECTED is returned by ngtcp2-client when the bug
occurs.
Note that this change is incomplete. The message validity depends solely
on the application protocol in use. As such, a new app_ops callback
should be implemented to ensure the stream is closed accordingly.
However, this first patch ensures that at least HTTP/3 case is valid
while keeping a minimal backport process.
This should be backported up to 2.8.
