Description

Fixes the logic in cudf::reduce for the minmax aggregation handling fixed-point types with non-zero scale.
Also adds new gtests with non-zero fixed-point types.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Improved minimum and maximum reductions for fixed-point data.
- Ensured results preserve the input scale, including columns containing null values.
- Improved output handling for dictionary-encoded and regular columns.

Walkthrough

Minmax reductions now use a shared scalar factory that preserves fixed-point scales for dictionary and regular columns. New tests cover multiple scales, null-free columns, columns with null entries, and scalar validity.

Changes

Fixed-point minmax support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared minmax scalar construction `cpp/src/reductions/minmax.cu`	Added `make_minmax_scalar` for valid output scalar construction. Fixed-point outputs use device storage and preserve the input scale. Dictionary and regular minmax paths use the helper.
Fixed-point minmax validation `cpp/tests/reductions/reduction_tests.cpp`	Added typed tests for scales `0`, `-1`, `-2`, and `-3`, with and without null entries. Tests verify extrema, null exclusion, scale preservation, and result validity.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6f306

The PR fixes fixed-point scale handling in minmax aggregation and adds coverage, but merge should retain owner awareness for missing validity assertions on reduction results in the affected tests.

Add coverage for dictionary-encoded fixed-point columns.

These tests use fixed_point_column_wrapper, so they do not execute minmax_dictionary_functor. Lines 204-205 in cpp/src/reductions/minmax.cu changed that separate path. Add a dictionary-encoded fixed-point test with a non-zero scale. Verify extrema and output scalar scales.

Assert scalar validity in both regular fixed-point minmax tests.
