sslutil: fix names of variables containing minimum protocol strings

When working in this module, I found it very confusing that "protocol" as a
variable name could mean either "minimum protocol string" or an exact version
(as a string or ssl.PROTOCOL_* value). This patch prefixes variables of the
former type with "minimum".
