Unexpected behavior of `segment_max` with boolean arrays
## Problem

`segment_max` applied to boolean arrays seems to generally return `True` for all segments. This is in contrast to the behavior of `segment_min` as well as `min` and `max`. 

## Example

```python
import jax.numpy as jnp
from jax.ops import segment_max

# max over boolean array
jnp.array([False, False]).max()
# DeviceArray(False, dtype=bool); As expected

# min over boolean array
jnp.array([True, False]).min()
# DeviceArray(False, dtype=bool); As expected

# segment_max over boolean array
segment_max(
    jnp.array([True, False, False, False]),
    jnp.array([0, 0, 1, 1])
)
# DeviceArray([ True,  True], dtype=bool); Expected result was [True, False]

# segment_min over boolean array
segment_min(
    jnp.array([True, True, False, False]),
    jnp.array([0, 0, 1, 1])
)
# DeviceArray([ True, False], dtype=bool); As expected

```
