time: Rename misnamed minsec argument of clocks_calc_mult_shift()

The minsec argument to clocks_calc_mult_shift() is misnamed. It is used 
to clamp the magnitude of the mult factor so that a multiplication with 
any value in the given range won't overflow a 64 bit result.  Let's 
rename it to match the actual usage.
