minmax: relax check to allow comparison between unsigned arguments and signed constants
commit 867046cc7027703f60a46339ffde91a1970f2901 upstream. Allow (for example) min(unsigned_var, 20). The opposite min(signed_var, 20u) is still errored. Since a comparison between signed and unsigned never makes the unsigned value negative it is only necessary to adjust the __types_ok() test.
