feat: wire h2-transport into the SDK as the HTTP/2 backend

Replace the undici-based HTTP/2 transport with the native node:http2
h2-transport library. The `http2` client option now accepts `boolean`
or `H2FetchOptions` (pool size, timeouts) instead of an undici
Dispatcher.

- Swap createUndiciFetch for createH2Fetch in node-runtime shims
- Update http2 option type from Dispatcher to H2FetchOptions
- Tune default httpAgent with higher socket limits for mixed workloads
- Update tests and docs to reflect the new transport
