http2: make use of the nghttp2 error callback

It offers extra info from nghttp2 in certain error cases. Like for
example when trying prior-knowledge http2 on a server that doesn't speak
http2 at all. The error message is passed on as a verbose message to
libcurl.

Discussed in #722

The error callback was added in nghttp2 1.9.0
