nodejs/undici H2CClient ignores the connect option

Original task statement excerpt

H2CClient ignores the connect option
## Bug Description

`H2CClient` destructures `connect` from `clientOpts` but does not pass it to `Client`, so the option is ignored.

This appears to be a regression from the refactor where `H2CClient` started extending `Client` directly. As a result:

- custom `connect` functions are not used
- invalid `connect` values are not rejected
- the documented `connect` option for `H2CClient` does not match runtime behavior

## Reproducible By

```js
import { H2CClient } from 'undici'

const client = new H2CClient('http://localhost:3000', {
  connect (opts, callback) {
    console.log('CUSTOM_CONNECT_CALLED')
    callback(new Error('custom connector used'))
  }
})

client.request({ path: '/', method: 'GET' }).catch((err) => {
  console.log(err.message)
}).finally(() => {
  client.close().catch(() => {})
})
```

## Expected Behavior

`CUSTOM_CONNECT_CALLED` should be printed

## Logs & Screenshots

Nothing is printed

## Environment

* macOS 15.1 / Darwin 25.1.0 arm64
* Node.js v24.14.1
* undici 8.0.2

### Additional context

This happens as h2c destructures `connect`, but it's not passed Client
