fix min() and max() crashing on large arrays

[pmarsh-scottlogic]

Resolves #6101

Changes:
The previous implementation of the max() and min() methods used Function.prototype.apply(), which would have a stack error on arrays of length more than ~120000. On the back of a discussion under the issue, I benchmarked a few alternative implementations and we settled with a simple for loop, which is one of the fastest if not the fastest implementation across all array sizes.
