We can sink extends after min/max if they match and would
not change the sign-interpreted compare. The only combo
that doesn't work is zext+smin/smax because the zexts
could change a negative number into positive:

Sext+umax/umin works:
define i32 @src(i8 %x, i8 %y) {
%0:
%sx = sext i8 %x to i32
%sy = sext i8 %y to i32
%m = umax i32 %sx, %sy
ret i32 %m
}
=>
define i32 @tgt(i8 %x, i8 %y) {
%0:
%m = umax i8 %x, %y
%r = sext i8 %m to i32
ret i32 %r
}
Transformation seems to be correct!
