I'm seeing that you extract only the first protocol name, and since
with ALPN it is possible to advertise a series of names, I think it
would make sense to be able to return each of them iteratively. We
already support doing this for headers or cookies for example. It
requires to set the SMP_F_NOT_LAST flag when returning, and to check
a context in smp->ctx (e.g. position of the next name to return in
smp->ctx->i).

This way you'll be able to steer incoming connections to a given
destination even if the advertised protocol is not the first one,
provided it's present in the list. Please have a look at
smp_fetch_cookie() for example to see how to proceed.

Thanks!
Willy
