QPACK streams created regardless of max dynamic table size 0

[gmarzot]

ran across this while experimenting with webtransport streams connecting the relay server in the moxygen project.

when connecting to a moxygen/proxygen server via HTTP3 at session start, i am observing the generation of 2 QPACK streams. apparently this occurs regardless of whether a SETTINGS frame has been sent or whether the SETTINGS_QPACK_MAX_TABLE_CAPACITY is set to 0 (the default). in cases where header compression is not needed/expected then these streams don't need to be created.

debug output show the quic stream creation

It's not against the rules to open the streams but it isn't necessary either.
