modified existing extrema algo tests

[sleepingeight]

Fixes #6627

Proposed Changes

• Added a new test utility random_repeat to generate vectors having repeated values.
• This utility is used to test the extrema algorithms, and I've verified that the existing implementations work properly.

Any background context you want to provide?

Used uniform_int_distribution to generate random numbers.
Tests for container_algorithms can also be modified, but the tests need to be modified to not use sentinel (as we have duplicate values in our vector). I can update the tests if usage of sentinel can be removed in these tests.

Checklist

Not all points below apply to all pull requests.

• I have added a new feature and have added tests to go along with it.
• I have fixed a bug and have added a regression test.
• I have added a test using random numbers; I have made sure it uses a seed, and that random numbers generated are valid inputs for the tests.

LGTM, thanks!

I wouldn't like removing the tests realted to sentinels.
