Title: ENH: unroll vector minmax loop

Improves speed by 10% on intel cpus.
Simplify code by moving the fenv support check into the dispatcher. fenv
works on all common platforms (including windows), the fallback is not
worth it for the exotic platforms where it might not be available.

Improve test speed by avoiding repr(array) until an actual failure.
