Allow DefaultHttp2Headers to be forced to lowercase.

Motivation:
I came across an issue when I was adding/setting headers and mistakenly
used an upper case header name. When using the http2 example that ships
with Netty this was not an issue. But when working with a browser that
supports http2, in my case I was using Firefox Nightly, I'm guessing
that it interprets the response as invalid in accordance with the
specifiction
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-http2-14#section-8.1.2

"However, header field names MUST be converted to lowercase prior
to their encoding in HTTP/2.  A request or response containing
uppercase header field names MUST be treated as malformed"

This PR suggests converting to lowercase to be the default.

Modifications:
Added a no-args constructor that defaults to forcing the key/name to
lowercase, and providing a second constructor to override this behaviour
if desired.

Result:
It is now possible to specify a header like this:
Http2Headers headers = new DefaultHttp2Headers(true)
    .status(new AsciiString("200"))
    .set(new AsciiString("Testing-Uppercase"), new AsciiString("some value"));

And the header written to the client will then become:
testing-uppercase:"some value"
