Abandon DATA frame priority adjustment (again)

We tried several times about this subject, but for the current
HTTP/2.0 priority scheme, we think it is best to serve the highest
priroty streams first (interleaving streams if there are several
higest ones). There are an issue when aggregating several frontend
connections to one connection in backend, but it is HTTP/2.0
spec issue, rather than implementation.
