Rename realmin -> realabsmin?

[timholy]

Potentially confusing:

julia> typemax(Float32)
Inf32

julia> typemin(Float32)
-Inf32

julia> realmax(Float32)
3.4028235f38

julia> realmin(Float32)
1.1754944f-38

[timholy]

Or maybe: typemax -> maxtype and realmax -> maxabsfinite

[pablosanjose]

How about positivemax and positivemin?

[TotalVerb]

It's also not the minimal representable positive value. I don't think there's a good term for this.

[TotalVerb]

For typemax and typemin, I wonder if folding into maximum and minimum make any sense (thinking of the type as a set, of sorts).

For realmax and realmin, correct terms might be maxabsnormal and minabsnormal, or maxpositivenormal and minpositivenormal.

Another alternative:

• realmax()/realmin() -> maxposnormal()/minposnormal() (to match with isposdef())

These are renamed and further renaming can't happen in 1.x.
