Fix minimum and maximum on non numeric column

I supposed all aggregation functions will return numeric result in
#39039, but that assumption was incorrect for `minimum` and `maximum`,
if an aggregated column is non numeric type.

I've restored type casting aggregated result for `minimum` and `maximum`.

Fixes #39110.
