Subject: [PATCH] misc: Make grub_min() and grub_max() more resilient.

grub_min(a,b) and grub_max(a,b) use a relatively naive implementation
which leads to several problems:
- they evaluate their parameters more than once
- the naive way to address this, to declare temporary variables in a
  statement-expression, isn't resilient against nested uses, because
  MIN(a,MIN(b,c)) results in the temporary variables being declared in
  two nested scopes, which may result in a build warning depending on
  your build options.

This patch changes our implementation to use a statement-expression
inside a helper macro, and creates the symbols for the temporary
variables with __COUNTER__ (A GNU C cpp extension) and token pasting to
create uniquely named internal variables.
