The changes to minmax.h that changed the type check to a signedness
check significantly increased the length of the expansion.
In some cases it has also significantly increased compile type.
This is particularly noticable for nested expansions.

The fact that _Static_assert() only requires a compile time constant
not a constant expression allows a lot of simplification.

The other thing that compilicates the expansion is the necessity of
returning a constant expression from constant arguments (for VLA).
I can only find a handful of places this is done.
Penalising most of the code for these few cases seems 'suboptimal'.
Instead I've added min_const() and max_const() for VLA and static
initialisers, these check the arguments are constant to avoid misuse.

Patch [9] is dependant on the earlier patches.
Patch [10] isn't dependant on them.
Patch [11] depends on both 9 and 10.

Changes for v2:
- Typographical and spelling corrections to the commit messages.
  Patches unchanged.

David Laight (11):
  [1] minmax: Put all the clamp() definitions together
  [2] minmax: Use _Static_assert() instead of static_assert()
  [3] minmax: Simplify signedness check
  [4] minmax: Replace multiple __UNIQUE_ID() by directly using __COUNTER__
  [5] minmax: Move the signedness check out of __cmp_once() and
    __clamp_once()
  [6] minmax: Remove 'constexpr' check from __careful_clamp()
  [7] minmax: minmax: Add __types_ok3() and optimise defines with 3
    arguments
  [8] minmax: Add min_const() and max_const()
  [9] tree-wide: minmax: Replace all the uses of max() for array sizes with
    max_const().
  [10] block: Use a boolean expression instead of max() on booleans
  [11] minmax: min() and max() don't need to return constant expressions
