Http2: writing valid PRIORITY frame fails with misleading error message
### Expected behavior
* Writing valid PRIORITY frame with `streamDependency=0` succeeds
*  PRIORITY frame validation message contains actual cause of error

### Actual behavior
Writing PRIORITY frame with `streamDependency=0`
```
http2Handler.encoder()
     .writePriority(ctx, streamId, /*dependency*/ 0, weight, /*exclusive*/ false, ctx.newPromise());
```

fails with misleading error message

```

@ejona86 can you have a look ?
I'll send out a PR.

The `verifyStreamId()` check for `streamDependency` should be a `verifyStreamOrConnectionId()`:
https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/f58223982ce8d9ed056c3d127972222966d0ebd1/codec-http2/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/http2/DefaultHttp2FrameWriter.java#L273-L277

The mislabled error seems to be a bug in the verify function, in that it ignores `argumentName`:
https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/f58223982ce8d9ed056c3d127972222966d0ebd1/codec-http2/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/http2/DefaultHttp2FrameWriter.java#L604-L610

It looks like the reading direction has the correct verification:
https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/f58223982ce8d9ed056c3d127972222966d0ebd1/codec-http2/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/http2/DefaultHttp2FrameReader.java#L501-L511

It later re-verifies with (although note these are asserts, so they are internal checks and not for verifying remotes):
https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/f58223982ce8d9ed056c3d127972222966d0ebd1/codec-http2/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/http2/DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController.java#L184-L186
