this macro is commonly defined in system headers (usually <sys/param.h>)
but if it is not define it here so it can be used elsewhere

I am between "meh" and "moderately negative" on this change.

 - Definition of MIN without matching MAX makes me worried about
   longer-term maintainability.  If we were to add MIN() we should
   also add MAX() to match.

   However, "git grep -e '#define MAX(' -e '#define MIN('" tells me
   that we do not use these anywhere and Brian's use of a single
   MIN() is the only thing that makes this patch interesting.  That
   is the primary reason why I am very close to "meh" on this.

 - We need to make sure that this is enough in "git-compat-util.h".
   Ideally, this should be after all "#include" of the system
   supplied header files, and before any use of MIN() macro
   ourselves.  I am reasonably sure that the place this patch chose
   to insert the definition satisfies that criterion within the
   context of the today's code, but I am unsure if it is even worth
   having to worry about it in the first place, given how rarely if
   ever the macro is used.  I think Brian's reroll of the sha256
   series even gets rid of the use of the macro, as it had only a
   single place that used the macro anyway.

So...
