http2: Faster http2 upload

Previously, when we send all given buffer in data_source_callback, we
return NGHTTP2_ERR_DEFERRED, and nghttp2 library removes this stream
temporarily for writing.  This itself is good.  If this is the sole
stream in the session, nghttp2_session_want_write() returns zero,
which means that libcurl does not check writeability of the underlying
socket.  This leads to very slow upload, because it seems curl only
upload 16k something per 1 second.  To fix this, if we still have data
to send, call nghttp2_session_resume_data after nghttp2_session_send.
This makes nghttp2_session_want_write() returns nonzero (if connection
window still opens), and as a result, socket writeability is checked,
and upload speed becomes normal.
