New description:
Python's `min` and `max` are not suitable for `RealIntervalFieldElement`,
as those are not linearly ordered; the existing methods
`RealIntervalFieldElement.min` and `RealIntervalFieldElement.max`
only compute the minimum or maximum of `self` and `other`.
This ticket rewrites the methods `RealIntervalFieldElement.min` and
`RealIntervalFieldElement.max` to accept an arbitrary number of arguments.

Comment (by cheuberg):
Replying to [comment:3 jdemeyer]:
> I think it would be more useful to have these as methods on `RIF`
elements.
I now rewrote the original methods of `RealIntervalField` to achieve what
I intended with the functions.
