There was an intended change to the order in which ALPN extensions were
processed, see
https://github.com/openssl/openssl/commit/af2db04c9979554ada88d969da6332a827a47599
-- ALPN is now processed after SNI, since the ALPN callback is attached
to the SSL_CTX, and SNI processing is likely to swap out the SSL_CTX in
use.  It does look like "late" TLS extensions are now handled after
cipher selection, so the ALPN callback can no longer affect the
negotiated cipher.

Even at the specification level, how all the TLS extensions are supposed
to interact with each other and the rest of the handshake is not
terribly well specified, so adding -dev to discuss what the desired
behavior actually is.
