Normalize accepted protocol values before the runtime handoff.

Validation accepts mixed-case values, but runner/runner.go passes the original value to httpxOptions.Protocol. The exact HTTP11 comparison in common/httpx/httpx.go can therefore miss the branch that disables HTTP/2. Normalize the value after validation so all accepted protocols reach exact-value dispatch consistently.

After the protocol validation in the options setup, normalize options.Protocol
to lowercase before it is handed off to httpxOptions.Protocol, so accepted
mixed-case values match the exact protocol dispatch checks.

Add the package declaration and test imports.

This file starts with func, so Go cannot compile it. The release-test pipeline reports expected 'package', found 'func'. Add package runner and imports for testing and github.com/stretchr/testify/require.

Add the `package runner` declaration and import `testing` and
`github.com/stretchr/testify/require` in `TestValidateOptions_Protocol`’s test
file so Go can compile the test.

Correct the "unknown" expectation.

httpx.UNKNOWN is "", not "unknown". ValidateOptions rejects "unknown", so this case will fail after the file compiles. Set wantErr to true, or change the validator if the literal word is intended to be supported.

Review comment at @runner/options_test.go at line 8:
Update the “unknown” case in the ValidateOptions test table to expect an error,
since httpx.UNKNOWN is an empty string and the literal “unknown” is rejected;
leave validator behavior unchanged.
