PYTHON-1023 - Explicitly drop support for MongoDB 2.2

We haven't tested against anything older than MongoDB 2.2 in a long timei, but we've never been explicit about what versions we actually support. As of this commit we are no longer testing against MongoDB 2.2 either. MongoDB 2.2 reached EOL in February of 2014.
