App Service web app HTTP version should be the latest

Description

Newer versions of HTTP may contain security enhancements and additional functionality. As an example, HTTP 2.0 no longer supports HTTP 1.1’s chunked transfer encoding mechanism, as it provides a more efficient mechanism for data streaming.
