feat(qpack): dynamic-table encoder driving the encoder stream

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Added
+
+- *(qpack)* dynamic-table encoder: `QpackEncoder::with_dynamic_table` + `encode`
+  drive the encoder stream (Set Dynamic Table Capacity, Insert with
+  Name Reference against static/dynamic names, Insert with Literal Name) and
+  emit field sections with dynamic indexed / name-reference representations and
+  a non-zero Required Insert Count. Entries referenced by a field section are
+  never evicted by inserts in the same batch; sensitive fields stay out of the
+  table (never-indexed). The previous static-only `encode_field_section` path is
+  unchanged. QPACK is now fully bidirectional (encode + decode, static +
+  dynamic), matching HPACK.
