Currently the clamp algorithm does:

	if (val > hi)
		val = hi;
	if (val < lo)
		val = lo;

But since hi > lo by definition, this can be made more efficient with:

	if (val > hi)
		val = hi;
	else if (val < lo)
		val = lo;

So fix up the clamp and clamp_t functions to do this, adding the same
argument checking as for min and min_t.
