Given IEEE-754's sway, and its saying what it does on this point, but given
also the popularity of NaN-propagating min and max, how about a compromise?
We add intrinsics following the IEEE-754 semantics, but we also follow
IEEE-754 (and ARMv8) in renaming them to minnum and maxnum, to clarify
which interpretation these intrinsics are using.
