Rollup merge of #91008 - Urgau:float-minimum-maximum, r=scottmcm
Adds IEEE 754-2019 minimun and maximum functions for f32/f64
IEEE 754-2019 removed the `minNum` (`min` in Rust) and `maxNum` (`max` in Rust) operations in favor of the newly created `minimum` and `maximum` operations due to their [non-associativity](https://grouper.ieee.org/groups/msc/ANSI_IEEE-Std-754-2019/background/minNum_maxNum_Removal_Demotion_v3.pdf) that cannot be fix in a backwards compatible manner. This PR adds `fN::{minimun,maximum}` functions following the new rules.
### IEEE 754-2019 Rules
> **minimum(x, y)** is x if x < y, y if y < x, and a quiet NaN if either operand is a NaN, according to 6.2.
For this operation, −0 compares less than +0. Otherwise (i.e., when x = y and signs are the same)
it is either x or y.
> **maximum(x, y)** is x if x > y, y if y > x, and a quiet NaN if either operand is a NaN, according to 6.2.
For this operation, +0 compares greater than −0. Otherwise (i.e., when x = y and signs are the
same) it is either x or y.

### Implementation
This implementation is inspired by the one in [`glibc` ](https://github.com/bminor/glibc/blob/90f0ac10a74b2d43b5a65aab4be40565e359be43/math/s_fminimum_template.c) (it self derived from the C2X draft) expect that:
- it doesn't use `copysign` because it's not available in `core` and also because `copysign` is unnecessary (we only want to check the sign, no need to create a new float)
- it also prefer `other > self` instead of `self < other` like IEEE 754-2019 does
I originally tried to implement them [using intrinsics](Urgau@1d8aa13) but LLVM [error out](https://godbolt.org/z/7sMrxW49a) when trying to lower them to machine intructions, GCC doesn't yet have built-ins for them, only cranelift support them nativelly (as it doesn't support the nativelly the old sementics).
Helps with #83984
