Seems to fix https://travis-ci.org/grpc/grpc-go/jobs/443409852, but regardless it's a more correct place for it to happen.

When security is disabled, not waiting for the HTTP/2 handshake can lead to DoS-style behavior. For details, see: grpc/grpc-go#954. This requirement will incur an extra half-RTT latency before the first RPC can be sent under plaintext, but this is negligible and unencrypted connections are rarer than secure ones. Under TLS, the server will effectively send its part of the HTTP/2 handshake along with its final TLS "server finished" message, which the client must wait for before transmitting any data securely. This means virtually no extra latency is incurred by this requirement. Go had attempted to separate "connection ready" with "connection successful" (Issue: grpc/grpc-go#1444 PR: grpc/grpc-go#1648). However, this is confusing to users and introduces an arbitrary distinction between these two events. It has led to several bugs in our reconnection logic (e.g.s grpc/grpc-go#2380, grpc/grpc-go#2391, grpc/grpc-go#2392), due to the complexity, and it makes custom transports (grpc/proposal#103) more difficult for users to implement. We are aware of some use cases (in particular, https://github.com/soheilhy/cmux) expecting the behavior of transmitting an RPC before the HTTP/2 handshake is completed. Before making behavior changes to implement this, we will reach out to our users to the best of our abilities.
