Make order of expected/actual consistent in protocol tests (#2976)

Debugging tests is easier when the order of arguments in assertions is
consistent across the board. With consistent order, you don't need to
look at the line of code to know which value is the correct value. Most
of the rest of the project uses expected/actual order, so this PR makes
the protocol tests also use that order.
