Hi all,
This patch implements some missing identities for Min/Max nodes. It adds static type-based operand choosing for MinI/MaxI, such as the ones that MinL/MaxL use. In addition, it adds simplification for patterns such as `Max(A, Max(A, B))` to `Max(A, B)` and `Max(A, Min(A, B))` to `A`. These simplifications stem from the [lattice identity rules](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_(order)#As_algebraic_structure). The main place I've seen this pattern is with MinL/MaxL nodes created during loop optimizations. Some examples of where this occurs include BigInteger addition/subtraction, and regex code. I've run some of the existing benchmarks and found some nice improvements:

I've added some IR tests, and tier 1 testing passes on my linux machine. Reviews would be appreciated!
