Add exception handler on HTTP/2 parent channel to suppress WARN logs
In HTTP/2, reactor-netty multiplexes streams on a shared parent TCP connection. The parent channel pipeline has no ChannelOperationsHandler (unlike HTTP/1.1), so TCP-level exceptions like Connection reset by peer (ECONNRESET) propagate to Netty's TailContext, which logs them as WARN. This adds Http2ParentChannelExceptionHandler to the parent channel via doOnConnected (accessing channel.parent()). The handler consumes exceptions at DEBUG level WITHOUT closing the channel or altering connection lifecycle, matching HTTP/1.1 logging behavior. Changes: - Handler logs cause.toString() (not getMessage()) for null-safe diagnostics - Defensive try-catch for duplicate handler name on concurrent stream creation - Before/after verified with EmbeddedChannel unit tests Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* Child stream channels have {@code ChannelOperationsHandler} which catches exceptions
19+

* <p>
24+
* This handler uses two dimensions to decide how to handle exceptions:
25+
* <ol>
26+
* <li><b>Exception type</b> — only {@link IOException} is suppressed. Non-IO exceptions
27+
* (bugs, unexpected state) are propagated so they surface via Netty's TailContext WARN.</li>
28+
* <li><b>Connection state</b> — for IO exceptions, the handler checks the number of active
29+
* HTTP/2 streams and whether the channel is still active. An IO exception on an idle,
30+
* inactive connection (0 streams, channel closed) is logged at DEBUG. An IO exception
31+
* with active streams or on a still-active channel is logged at WARN to preserve
32+
* telemetry for connection disruptions that affect in-flight requests.</li>
33+
* </ol>
34+
* <p>
35+
* The handler does NOT close the channel or alter connection lifecycle — reactor-netty
36+
* and the connection pool's eviction predicate ({@code !channel.isActive()}) handle that
37+
* independently.
