Rollup merge of #109409 - WaffleLapkin:progamer, r=dtolnay
Add `minmax{,_by,_by_key}` functions to `core::cmp`
This PR adds the following functions:
```rust
// mod core::cmp
#![unstable(feature = "cmp_minmax")]
pub fn minmax<T>(v1: T, v2: T) -> [T; 2]
where
T: Ord;
pub fn minmax_by<T, F>(v1: T, v2: T, compare: F) -> [T; 2]
where
F: FnOnce(&T, &T) -> Ordering;
pub fn minmax_by_key<T, F, K>(v1: T, v2: T, mut f: F) -> [T; 2]
where
F: FnMut(&T) -> K,
K: Ord;
```
(they are also `const` under `#[feature(const_cmp)]`, I've omitted `const` stuff for simplicity/readability)
----
Semantically these functions are equivalent to `{ let mut arr = [v1, v2]; arr.sort(); arr }`, but since they operate on 2 elements only, they are implemented as a single comparison.
Even though that's basically a sort, I think "sort 2 elements" operation is useful on it's own in many cases. Namely, it's a common pattern when you have 2 things, and need to know which one is smaller/bigger to operate on them differently.
I've wanted such functions countless times, most recently in #109402, so I thought I'd propose them.
