Change NPN default

By default Next Protocol Negotiation is turned off. Upstream has it by default turned on and anyone using a webserver capable of HTTP2 (pretty much all of them) will use openssl-devel and NPN for optimal performance.

In addition, overriding the upstream default building Python 3.6 with openssl-devel, as they assume NPN to be available. If there is no compelling reason to keep this default, I suggest it be changed.

Patch also updates description, as SPDY is long gone and we have HTTP/2 now, with quite a good adoption rate [1].

Actually, discard this.
I switched my acronyms. HTTP/2 uses ALPN, so it makes perfect sense to keep this default.
