minmax: add a few more MIN_T/MAX_T users
Commit 3a7e02c0 ("minmax: avoid overly complicated constant expressions in VM code") added the simpler MIN_T/MAX_T macros in order to avoid some excessive expansion from the rather complicated regular min/max macros. The complexity of those macros stems from two issues: (a) trying to use them in situations that require a C constant expression (in static initializers and for array sizes) (b) the type sanity checking and MIN_T/MAX_T avoids both of these issues. Now, in the whole (long) discussion about all this, it was pointed out that the whole type sanity checking is entirely unnecessary for min_t/max_t which get a fixed type that the comparison is done in. But that still leaves min_t/max_t unnecessarily complicated due to worries about the C constant expression case. However, it turns out that there really aren't very many cases that use min_t/max_t for this, and we can just force-convert those. This does exactly that. Which in turn will then allow for much simpler implementations of min_t()/max_t(). All the usual "macros in all upper case will evaluate the arguments multiple times" rules apply. We should do all the same things for the regular min/max() vs MIN/MAX() cases, but that has the added complexity of various drivers defining their own local versions of MIN/MAX, so that needs another level of fixes first.
