Use a more forgiving threshold for qFuzzyIsNull(qfloat16)

Browse Source 
Analysis of problems with the new test for qFuzzyIsNull() revealed
that, where its version for double uses approximately 4500 * epsilon
and for float used 84 * epsilon as threshold, the qfloat16 version's
value was barely more than epsilon, with the result that the test had
to use a different value than the threshold to pass. (Converting the
threshold from float to qfloat16 and back made it bigger; in effect,
the threshold value was not <= itself.)

Furthermore, comparison with qFuzzyCompare() implied a value of
1/102.5 should be used, roughly 10 * epsilon, for consistency.  When
1/102.5 is rounded to three significant digits (the precision we use
in QTest::toString(), for example), to give 0.00976f as threshold, we
get a value that, after conversion to qfloat16 and back to float, does
give a result <= what we started with. So change qFuzzyIsNull() and
its test to use this as qfloat16's threshold value.

[ChangeLog][QtCore][QFloat16] The qfloat16 threshold value for
qFuzzyIsNull() has changed from 1e-3 to 9.76e-3, almost a factor of
ten increase, for consistency with qFuzzyCompare()'s tolerance. Values
between these would previously have had qFuzzyIsNull(f) false despite
qFuzzyCompre(f, 1+f) being true.
