shearl: s/GOAWAY/GO_AWAY, s/REFUSED_STREAM/RETRY_STREAM, s/RST_STREAM/TERMINATE_STREAM

[shearl]

renamed GOAWAY to GO_AWAY to be consistent with the naming for other two-word frame types ie RST_STREAM, PUSH_PROMISE and WINDOW_UPDATE

s/REFUSED_STREAM/RETRY_STREAM The definition of REFUSED_STREAM is somewhat contradictory with the definition of the word refused. The word refused is defined as: indicate or show that one is not willing to do something (https://www.google.at/). The definition of REFUSED_STREAM in Section 7 references section 8.1.4 which says that a REFUSED_STREAM is safe to retry. In other words the server is actually willing to process the stream, but currently unable (e.g. because the client overran settings and so the client needs to retry the stream with the new settings.)

s/RST_STREAM/TERMINATE_STREAM The definition of RST_STREAM doesn't match the meaning of the word reset. The word reset generally means: "cause (a binary device) to enter the state representing the numeral 0." [http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/reset] In other words, the word reset implies that the stream should be reset back to its original state (i.e. IDLE), but RST_STREAM immediately takes a stream to its terminal state (i.e. CLOSED).

If you're renaming things for consistency, might I suggest having all 3 stream error names in the same format of "STREAM_type" (or "type_STREAM").

Also, you could use "drop" instead of "retry" or "refused" if you're looking for more literal meanings.
(& add a note about the ability to retry where needed)

The suggestion would be a matching set of:
STREAM_CLOSED
STREAM_DROPPED (formerly REFUSED_STREAM)
STREAM_CANCELED (formerly CANCEL)

If you want to be pedantic, you could also rearrange the list to have all "ERROR" together sequentially then all "STREAM" sequentially after that, though changing values this late in the game probably isn't worth it.

Closing, as this has become out of sync with he spec. If you're still interested, I think it'd be better to talk about it on-list first, as we're in a stage where even small changes to the spec are getting a lot of scrutiny.
