when we are connected to a SPDY or HTTP2 based proxy we create TLS CONNECT tunnels through it for https. each CONNECT tunnel is its own stream with its own priority - independent of any streams in the session inside the tunnel (those priorities are obviously invisible to the proxy)

initially I created the priority of tunnel stream using the priority of the https stream that triggered the tunnel creation. But we end up putting a lot of different streams on that tunnel perhaps simultaneously and the priority doesn't necessarily apply for long. It also leaks a little information and leads to an inconsistent feel.

So i think a static connect stream priority makes more sense. That would allow us to create a session of only evenly balanced connect streams if necessary down the road.

I've chosen normal - both highest and lowest are sometimes ridiculously wrong.
