Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Support IEEE 754-2008 16-bit floats in bitstrings

This format is often used with computer graphics and
AI, also in cases where data is large enough that the
decreased bandwidth and storage compensates the loss
of precision.

The _Float16 data type is defined in the C11 extension
ISO/IEC TS 18661-3:2015. Recent compilers and platforms
provide support for it and recent CPUs provide specific
instruction sets for them too. In some, _Float16 is storage
only, which is enough for our use cases. If _Float16 is not
available, functions for conversion from float to half-floats
are used, ported from https://github.com/Maratyszcza/FP16.

+     *     exponent adjustment by 0xE0 less the necessary exponent adjustment by 0x70 due to difference in exponent bias.
