Multiple kinds of payload in HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 conflict with payload terminology from core and RFC7230 #654

Description

@royfielding

Taking another look at the problems surrounding the term "payload", I went to see what was being used in h2 (RFC7540) and HTTP/3. Unfortunately, they use both "payload body" (h2, 7230) / "payload data" (h3, http-core) and also "frame payload" (h2, h3).

So, at various times, DATA payload != payload data, but a DATA payload might contain the payload data if it happens to be the only DATA frame.

Just shoot me.
