HTTP/2.0 work was stared based on SPDY, but now they are completely
different protocol.
nghttp2 only supports HTTP/2.0; no SPDY support.

nghttp2 and spdylay have similar APIs, so if libcurl successfully adds
nghttp2
support in its core, then it will be relatively easy to add SPDY support
using
spdylay if SPDY support is important.
But SPDY will disappear when HTTP/2.0 is standardized, so there may be
less incentive to invest the time to support SPDY now, but YMMV.
