Instead of IOException which has to be handled by the developer, an unchecked exception is sufficient and makes it easier to statically create fixtures used in more than one test case.

Also, the existing documentation was wrong, when the resource does not exist, fixture() threw an IllegalArgumentException (Preconditions.checkArgument) not an IOException as stated in the javadoc.

Upgrade to Jetty 9.2.6.v20141205
Migrate dropwizard-spdy from NPN protocol to ALPN

Resolve #794
NPN is a deprecated protocol and ALPN it's successor.
Jetty doesn't support NPN for Java 8, so it makes sense to make a switch.

Look for reference:
http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/9.2.3.v20140905/alpn-chapter.html
Document the need to provide alpn-boot library for SPDY

Also add a link to Jetty ALPN guide, so users can choose the the
correct library depending on their JVM version.
