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.
