[issue18111] Add a default argument to min & max

[Raymond Hettinger]

Thanks Stephan.  I'm going to close this one.  The case for adding it is too weak and isn't worth making the API more complex.

If someone wants a default with an iterable of arbitrary size including zero, there are already a number of ways to do it (using itertools.chain for example or just catching the exception).
