uapi: add INT_MAX and INT_MIN constants

Some UAPI headers use INT_MAX and INT_MIN. Currently they include
<limits.h> for their definitions, which introduces a problematic
dependency on libc.

Add custom, namespaced definitions of INT_MAX and INT_MIN using the
same values as the regular kernel code.
These definitions are not added to uapi/linux/limits.h, as that header
will conflict with libc definitions on some platforms.
