fix(h2-transport): enlarge flow-control windows to prevent large-download stalls
The HTTP/2 protocol default flow-control window is 64 KB per stream and 64 KB at the session level. With a ~60 ms round-trip time to api.runloop.pro, this caps effective throughput at roughly 1 MB/s regardless of actual link capacity. Fix both levels: - Send SETTINGS_INITIAL_WINDOW_SIZE = 16 MB so each new stream starts with a 16 MB send window (stream level). - Call session.setLocalWindowSize(16 MB) after connect so the server can push up to 16 MB of response body before waiting for a WINDOW_UPDATE (session level). Measured impact: 10 MB file download throughput went from ~1 MB/s to ~89 MB/s (~3× faster than the HTTP/1.1 path). Also add two TypeScript casts in arrayBuffer() to satisfy the compiler: Node.js Buffers are always backed by a regular ArrayBuffer (not SharedArrayBuffer), so the casts are sound.
