Cyrus HTTP/2 excessive CPU usage vulnerability

All,

Cyrus uses libnghttp2 <https://nghttp2.org/> for its HTTP/2 support.  
Recently, a vulnerability 
<https://github.com/nghttp2/nghttp2/security/advisories/GHSA-x6x3-gv8h-m57q> 
that can cause excessive CPU usage was found in that library.

Cyrus installations that compile with HTTP/2 support should upgrade to 
libnghttp2 v1.61 immediately, or recompile Cyrus with the 
--without-nghttp2 option until libnghttp2 can be upgraded.

I have verified that Cyrus compiles cleanly against v1.61+ and 
interoperates fine with both iOS and Thunderbird.
