Add specifications for `maximum` and `minimum` #713

Closed kgryte closed 9 months ago

This PR

resolves https://github.com/data-apis/array-api/issues/667 by adding specifications for computing the element-wise minimum and maximum.
as in min and max, complex number support is left unspecified. Input data types should be real-valued data types.
as the APIs are straightforward and consistent across array libraries, the changes proposed in this PR do not have any open questions requiring resolution.

As (1) the additions of minimum and maximum have previously been discussed in workgroup meetings and https://github.com/data-apis/array-api/issues/667, (2) all considered array libraries already implement these element-wise APIs, and (3) no objects have been raised here, will go ahead and merge. Any further changes can be addressed in follow-up PRs.
