Add a HTTP/2 client example using the newer frames approach the current HTTP/2 client example uses the older 'HTTP/1 <--> HTTP/2' translation approach. (#10081)

**Motivation:**

When I was previously working on a project using Netty's HTTP/2 support, I used the newer frames approach but I struggled to find any good examples or documentation online. I did, however, see a few people ask the same (or similar) questions as me on StackOverflow and a couple of older Netty Github issues.

Reading issue [9733](https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9733) therefore prompted me to pull together a few bits of code into this HTTP/2 frame client example.

**Modification:**

Populated the previously-empty `example/src/main/java/io/netty/example/http2/helloworld/frame/client/` folder with a HTTP/2 frame client example.

**Result:**

Gives a clear example of how the newer HTTP/2 support can be used for Netty clients.
