Invalid HTTP2 headers should be recoverable
Bug Description
If an invalid HTTP2 header is sent by the server, the client should be able to recover by retrying the operation. Right now it results in an uncaughtException. See https://github.com/nodejs/undici/discussions/4341 for more details.
Reproducible By
To reproduce, a mock reply will need to be constructed where an HTTP2 connection to a server gets a response with an HTTP1 header like "http2-settings".
Ideally a runtime error is thrown, which can be caught in a block where Undici can be directed to retry the operation with a new connection.
