Enable HTTP/2 in the default transport.

When Protocol is UNKNOWN, the primary transport advertises h2 but leaves Protocols nil. Because it uses a custom DialTLSContext and TLSClientConfig, Go 1.26 keeps HTTP/2 disabled. A server that negotiates h2 therefore has no HTTP/2 handler in this transport, and the request can fail.

Suggested fix 
 	} else if httpx.Options.Protocol == HTTP2 {
 		var p http.Protocols
 		p.SetHTTP2(true)
 		transport.Protocols = &p
+	} else {
+		var p http.Protocols
+		p.SetHTTP1(true)
+		p.SetHTTP2(true)
+		transport.Protocols = &p
 	}

Add an end-to-end test with an httptest TLS server that has EnableHTTP2 set. Use Protocol: UNKNOWN, then assert that the request succeeds with resp.ProtoMajor == 2.

Review comment at @common/httpx/httpx.go around lines 155 - 157:
When Protocol is UNKNOWN, the default transport advertises HTTP/2 but does not
enable its protocol handlers. Update the transport setup alongside the
HTTP2-specific branch to set both HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 in transport.Protocols for
the default case, while preserving the existing HTTP2-only behavior.
