fix(cli): wire --http2/--no-http2 (HEADROOM_HTTP2) into proxy command (#1373)

## Description

The `headroom proxy` Click entrypoint (the command the `headroom`
console script dispatches to) never set `http2`, so `ProxyConfig` fell
back to its `http2=True` default and the upstream `httpx` client always
negotiated HTTP/2. The `HEADROOM_HTTP2` env var was only honored by the
legacy `server.py` `run()` path, leaving the Click command with no way
to force HTTP/1.1.

On a single shared proxy serving many concurrent Claude Code sessions,
HTTP/2 multiplexes every stream over one TLS connection. Frequent stream
cancellations (ESC, aborted tool calls, subagent cancels) can desync
that connection and surface as `ssl.SSLError: [SSL:
SSLV3_ALERT_BAD_RECORD_MAC]` on a later request. The traceback is
entirely within `httpcore/_async/http2.py`; the retry path does not
catch `SSLError`/`RemoteProtocolError`, so it leaks back to the client
as an API error.

This adds a `--http2/--no-http2` flag (default on,
`envvar=HEADROOM_HTTP2`) so operators can force HTTP/1.1 to avoid the
corruption. Default behavior is unchanged.

## Type of Change

- [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
- [ ] New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
- [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing
functionality to change)
- [ ] Documentation update
- [ ] Performance improvement
- [ ] Code refactoring (no functional changes)

## Changes Made

- Add a `--http2/--no-http2` Click option to the `proxy` command
(default `True`, `envvar="HEADROOM_HTTP2"`), mirroring the adjacent
`--max-keepalive` option.
- Add the `http2: bool` parameter to the `proxy()` signature.
- Pass it through to `ProxyConfig(http2=http2)` so the env/flag actually
reaches the upstream `httpx` client. (`ProxyConfig.http2` already
existed and is read at client construction; it was simply never wired
from this entrypoint.)

## Testing

- [ ] Unit tests pass (`pytest`)
- [x] Linting passes (`ruff check .`)
- [ ] Type checking passes (`mypy headroom`)
- [ ] New tests added for new functionality
- [x] Manual testing performed

### Test Output

```text
$ git show fix/cli-http2-flag:headroom/cli/proxy.py | uv run ruff check --stdin-filename headroom/cli/proxy.py -
All checks passed!

$ uv run headroom proxy --help
...
  --http2 / --no-http2            Use HTTP/2 to upstream providers (default:
                                  on, env: HEADROOM_HTTP2). Disable to force
                                  HTTP/1.1, which avoids shared-connection TLS
                                  corruption (SSLV3_ALERT_BAD_RECORD_MAC) when
                                  many concurrent streams are cancelled.
...
(exit code 0)
```

## Real Behavior Proof

- Environment: macOS, Python 3.12, `headroom-ai` built from this branch
in a uv-managed venv.
- Exact command / steps: `uv run headroom proxy --help`; `ruff check`
against the branch content via stdin.
- Observed result: the `--http2/--no-http2` flag renders in `--help` and
the command builds with exit code 0 (confirming the Click option,
function signature, and `ProxyConfig` kwarg all line up); `ruff` reports
`All checks passed!`.
- Not tested: full `pytest` suite and `mypy` (single-file CLI plumbing
change); live HTTP/1.1 negotiation against an upstream provider with
`--no-http2` was not exercised end-to-end in CI.

## Screenshots (if applicable)

N/A — CLI-only change.

## Additional Notes

- No dedicated test added: this is a one-line passthrough of an
already-existing `ProxyConfig.http2` field, mirroring the neighboring
`--max-keepalive` option which is likewise wired without a per-flag
test. The `--help` render confirms the option/signature/kwarg wiring.
Happy to add a regression test asserting `--no-http2` yields
`config.http2 is False` if maintainers prefer.
- Documentation/CHANGELOG left unchecked: the flag is self-documenting
via `--help`; point me at the right doc/changelog entry if one is
expected.
- The fix is also what unblocks downstream consumers that set
`HEADROOM_HTTP2=false` expecting it to be honored by the `headroom
proxy` entrypoint.
