Re: [#153] PUSH_PROMISE headers

At least for the first implementation draft I would suggest we heed James'
suggestion and restrict the headers inside the pushed header block to those
that would have been sent in the request.

If we find later that we *really really* need to add response headers to
the pushed header block then we can reevaluate. Or perhaps after some
implementation experience we figure out that with some thought into
selection of the pushed headers there is not a compelling enough reason to
add the extra complexity.
