[aerogear-dev] Why we support NPN in WebPush project?

If I recall correctly this was due to that when we first started on the
WebPush server (November 2014) we were still considering supporting Java
1.7 which required us to use NPN.

But do we really want to support deprecated protocol and API?
The only real reason at the moment would be to support the this Node.js
WebPush server implementation [1]. But it has not been updated since May
2015 so I'm pretty sure it is not up to date with the current spec.

My vote is to remove NPN support for both the server and console.
