Description

Our version of h2spec is a bit outdated. The newer version is published in a slightly different format which requires changes to our build.

In #1535, a first attempt was made to update to the new version. It didn't work because we couldn't easily unpack tar.gz archives. The new solution should probably just use command line tools like "tar xfz ...".!! to extract the binaries.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current build script to find where h2spec is downloaded and extracted. Replace the extraction method with `tar xfz` to handle the tar.gz archive, as suggested in the issue.
