[issue20620] Update the min()/max() docs for the new default argument

[Raymond Hettinger]

New submission from Raymond Hettinger:

There is a new "default" argument for min() and max():

    >>> min([], default=10)
    10

The new argument is not currently shown by help():

    >>> help(min)
    Help on built-in function min in module builtins:

    min(...)
        min(iterable[, key=func]) -> value
        min(a, b, c, ...[, key=func]) -> value
        
        With a single iterable argument, return its smallest item.
        With two or more arguments, return the smallest argument.
