I've added a commit to the PR that I created that deals with
pseudo-headers.  This forbids their use under the same conditions as
other malformed headers.  That is, that they should be treated as a
stream header, but notes that tunnels and other intermediaries might
not even need to check, so aren't required to.  This point is
especially relevant for trailers and other HEADERS frames, which -
unless we decide to remove them (see other issue regarding
END_SEGMENT) - will be ignored by pretty much everyone.
