Recent numerics stabilization removed the inherent `min_value` and `max_value` methods from integer types, assuming that the module-level constants would suffice. However, that failed to account for the use case in FFI code when dealing with integer type aliases. This commit reintroduces the methods as `#[stable]`, since this is essential functionality for 1.0. It's unfortunate to freeze these as methods, but when we can provide inherent associated constants these methods can be deprecated.
