Introduce HTTP2 health check transport options (#9022)

**Description:** 
This PR introduces options to enable `http/2` health check by exposing
`HTTP2ReadIdleTimeout` and `HTTP2PingTimeout`

The golang issues are:
golang/go#59690
golang/go#36026

In summary, if due to environmental issue the underlying tcp connection
used by the http/2 client in the exporter became
unstable/unusable/unreachable, unlike http/1, the http/2 client does not
forcibly close the connection and redial a new one, instead it keeps
using it for 15 minutes (default value of OS `tcp_retries2` ) until the
OS cleans it up and a new tcp connection gets established.
From OTEL user perspective, one will see a spike in export
failures/timeouts for ~15 minutes, this will happen for every connection
that got into a bad state, after 15 minutes things will recover until
next time the tcp connection gets into a bad state.


**Testing:**
- Run OTEL with one of the exporters that uses HTTP/2 client, example
`signalfx` exporter
- For simplicity use a single pipeline/exporter
- In a different shell, run this to watch the tcp state of the
established connection
```
 while (true); do echo date; sudo netstat -anp | grep -E '<endpoin_ip_address(es)>' | sort -k 5; sleep 2; done
 ```  
- From the netstat, take a note of the source port and the source IP address
- replace <> from previous step
`sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -s <source_IP> -p tcp --sport <source_Port> -j DROP`
- Note how the OTEL exporter export starts timing out

Expected Result:
- A new connection should be established, similarly to http/1 and exports should succeed

Actual Result: 
- The exports keep failing for  ~ 15 minutes or for whatever the OS `tcp_retries2` is configured to
- After 15 minutes, a new tcp connection is created and exports start working

**Documentation:** 
Readme is updated with new settings
