"SSL protocol version" error should be "TLS protocol version"

Reported by m...@certsimple.com, Jul 4 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.103 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Visit an SSLv3 site, eg: https://ssl-v3.badssl.com:1003/

What is the expected behavior?
Since Chrome communication generally doesn't use SSL to mean TLS, and since Chrome doesn't support SSLv3, the error should be:

"The client and server don't support a common TLS protocol version or cipher suite."

What went wrong?
Instead the error is: "The client and server don't support a common SSL protocol version or cipher suite."

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 51.0.2704.103  Channel: n/a
OS Version: OS X 10.11.5
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 22.0 r0

Picky but hey, consistency is good.

I'll let Enamel folks decide what they want here. In my mind, the SSL/TLS naming mess isn't worth bothering with and, for better or worse, everyone thinks the protocol is called "SSL" anyway. But if we normally use "TLS" (do we?), I suppose we should be consistent.

We normally try to avoid using either "TLS" or "SSL" at all. I don't think this is worth fussing with though for the same reasons that davidben mentioned.
