[DISCUSS] Enable H2 request multiplexing by default as of 5.7

[Oleg Kalnichevski <ol...@apache.org>]

Folks

How do you feel about making HttpAsyncClient use H2 request
multiplexing by default in 5.7? This feature has been experimental
since 5.5. I believe it should now be stable enough (or differently
put, it will not get any more stable if kept disable by default).

I think it should be fine as long as we document how to get the old
behavior back.
