Add h2load to nghttp2-client

[Alvaro Figueroa]

I would like the tool h2load added to the nghttp2-client package. This is a tool similar to ab (apache benchmark) but with support for http2.

The tool's source is already included in the source of the ubuntu package and get's built by normal compilation of the package. It's just that the file wasn't included in the nghttp2-client package. It only weight 7.8k.

The related libnghttp2-doc package already includes an HTML version of the man page as well as a HOWTO use the tool.

1. Description: Ubuntu Xenial Xerus (development branch)
Release: 16.04
2. nghttp2-client:
  Installed: 1.7.1-1
  Candidate: 1.7.1-1
  Version table:
 *** 1.7.1-1 500
        500 http://ubuntu-mirror.greencore.int/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
3. I expected the tool to be present as part of the client package.
4. The tools is missing from the nghttp2-client package.

1.19.0-2 (in zesty) has an h2load binary.

To update the xenial or yakkety versions, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates would need to be followed. But note that this does not seem to be a bugfix but a feature request.
