fix #6540: IOBuffer(s) only for ByteString, utf16(s) for binary data, and add is_valid_utf16(s)
check for BOM in UTF-16 conversion of byte arrays
For big types, only use unpromoted arithmetic for types no larger than long for that system. Use explicit integer sizes in random test to avoid errors on 32 bit long systems.
Add documentation about custom exceptions to the manual

Reference extrema from documentation of minmax

I have forgotten a few times what the `extrema` function is called, and end up looking at the documentation for `minmax`. This adds the helpful hint that I would have appreciated.
