Description
Order.max/min is commutative, so it could be used with UnorderedFoldable/UnorderedReducible.
They should be moved down there in cats 2.0, which I think would be binary compatible in scala 2.12 since UnorderedFoldable is a subtype of Foldable.

Research direction
Locate the definitions of minimumOption and maximumOption, along with UnorderedFoldable and UnorderedReducible. Check how moving these operations affects inheritance and Scala 2.12 binary compatibility. Done means the operations are available at the unordered abstraction without breaking the stated compatibility requirement.
