Updated python-hpack packages fix a security vulnerability

An issue was found in the python-hyper/hpack library, most commonly used as a downstream dependency of the python-hyper/h2 library an HTTP/2 client and server implementation. Unbounded variable integer decoding can cause run-away computation on malformed input leading to On^2 runtime, effectively...
