BUG/MINOR: h3: do not report transfer as aborted on preemptive response

HTTP/3 specification allows a server to emit the entire response even if
only a partial request was received. In particular, this happens when
request STREAM FIN is delayed and transmitted in an empty payload frame.

In this case, qcc_abort_stream_read() was used by HTTP/3 layer to emit a
STOP_SENDING. Remaining received data were not transmitted to the stream
layer as they were simply discared. However, this prevents FIN
transmission to the stream layer. This causes the transfer to be
considered as prematurely closed, resulting in a cL-- log line status.
This is misleading to users which could interpret it as if the response
was not sent.

To fix this, disable STOP_SENDING emission on full preemptive reponse
emission. Rx channel is kept opened until the client closes it with
either a FIN or a RESET_STREAM. This ensures that the FIN signal can be
relayed to the stream layer, which allows the transfer to be reported as
completed.

This should be backported up to 2.9.
