eileencodes 59a02fb7bc Implement H2 Early Hints for Rails
When puma/puma#1403 is merged Puma will support the Early Hints status
code for sending assets before a request has finished.

While the Early Hints spec is still in draft, this PR prepares Rails to
allowing this status code.

If the proxy server supports Early Hints, it will send H2 pushes to the
client.

This PR adds a method for setting Early Hints Link headers via Rails,
and also automatically sends Early Hints if supported from the
`stylesheet_link_tag` and the `javascript_include_tag`.

Once puma supports Early Hints the `--early-hints` argument can be
passed to the server to enable this or set in the puma config with
`early_hints(true)`. Note that for Early Hints to work
in the browser the requirements are 1) a proxy that can handle H2,
and 2) HTTPS.

To start the server with Early Hints enabled pass `--early-hints` to
`rails s`.

This has been verified to work with h2o, Puma, and Rails with Chrome.

The commit adds a new option to the rails server to enable early hints
for Puma.

= Action Pack -- From request to response

Action Pack is a framework for handling and responding to web requests. It
provides mechanisms for *routing* (mapping request URLs to actions), defining
*controllers* that implement actions, and generating responses by rendering
*views*, which are templates of various formats. In short, Action Pack
provides the view and controller layers in the MVC paradigm.

It consists of several modules:

* Action Dispatch, which parses information about the web request, handles
  routing as defined by the user, and does advanced processing related to HTTP
  such as MIME-type negotiation, decoding parameters in POST, PATCH, or PUT bodies,
  handling HTTP caching logic, cookies and sessions.

* Action Controller, which provides a base controller class that can be
  subclassed to implement filters and actions to handle requests. The result
  of an action is typically content generated from views.

With the Ruby on Rails framework, users only directly interface with the
Action Controller module. Necessary Action Dispatch functionality is activated
by default and Action View rendering is implicitly triggered by Action
Controller. However, these modules are designed to function on their own and
can be used outside of Rails.
