SPDY-related ports should be deprecated, because the SPDY protocol is deprecated

SPDY may be deprecated but I'm sure there are still browsers out there that
support SPDY and not HTTP/2 yet. Not everyone can or does update their
browser at the speed the Internet moves, and SPDY provides a lot of the
same benefits HTTP/2 does.

Might make sense to mark them as being deprecated and schedule for removal
at some future date (6-12 months out?) to give people time to sunset
support.
