SETTINGS frame on a request stream

Close the connection with H3_FRAME_UNEXPECTED. SETTINGS belongs to the control stream alone: §7.2.4 says that if an endpoint receives one on a different stream it "MUST respond with a connection error of type H3_FRAME_UNEXPECTED".

How each client answered

ClientVersionVerdictWhat happened
curl ngtcp2/1.11.0 Inconclusive Objected, but at the QUIC layer (rejected at the QUIC layer with INTERNAL_ERROR), so the HTTP/3 error code could not be read. §8.1 carries an HTTP/3 connection error in an application close, and this test asks for 0x105 specifically — whether that was the client's reasoning is not observable from here.
quinn noq fork Inconclusive The client completed its request and then said nothing further before the window closed. A rejection whose CONNECTION_CLOSE was lost cannot be told apart from a client that never objected: QUIC re-sends that frame only in answer to an incoming packet, so one that goes missing is simply never seen.
aioquic 1.3.0 Pass Rejected with the required error code 0x105.
chromium build 1223 Pass Rejected with the required error code 0x105.
quic-go quic-go v0.61.0 Pass Rejected with the required error code 0x105.
quiche 0.30.0 Pass Rejected with the required error code 0x105.
neqo 0.31.1 Pass Rejected with the required error code 0x105.
