Support for Expect: 100-continue is mandated as MUST by
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7231#section-5.1.1. Yet servers
built on h2 cannot currently support this requirement.

One example of such usage, is hyper #2743.

This approach adds a send_continue method to SendResponse that a server
application can use to implement support itself. This PR does not solve
the feature itself, it merely provides sufficient support for a server
application to implement the functionality as desired.

One possible alternate solution, could be to implement more of the functionality directly, by hooking up the first attempt to read the request-body, as a signal to send 100-continue, if the header was there on the Request. Ideally, that would be implemented in Request::into_body, or add the behavior to the first call of RecvStream::poll_data. However, it seemed more invasive than I'd like it to be, and I didn't manage to wire it up in an acceptable way anyways.

It might be out-of-scope to suggest this, but should we perhaps consider a slightly broader method, that allows sending other informational responses, like 103 Early Hints or future codes? In that case, we'd want to be able to send headers too...

I thought about it when writing the PR, but avoided it since I'm not sure what it's signature should be. send_info(Response<()>) feels a bit too wide, given that practically only 1xx responses are allowed here. OTOH, send_response(Response<()>) is also wider than it technically supports. (Extensions are cleared, the body unused, and the only Version supported really, is HTTP2), so maybe such API is fine.

Perhaps this just needs to document with a # Panics section that passing a response with a non-1xx status code is a misuse of the method.

Agreed, and fixed.
