Both ARM and x86 can convert fp16 much faster in bulk than one at a
time. This also enables hardware accelerated conversion on x86, when
F16C isn't unconditionally available at compile time.
This code is implemented in C to ensure that there's no leakage of
inline symbols from the .obj file that was compiled by Visual Studio
with AVX support. Unfortunately, simd.prf uses $(CXX) instead of $(CC)
for all its sources, which means the file gets interpreted as C++ by
g++, clang++ and icpc. Those compilers at least don't leak any symbols.

The operator double() and operator long double() members of qfloat16
are causing cast ambiguities. This removes them, leaving only
operator float() which seems to be adequate.
Also, additional arithmetic operator tests were added which without
this removal fail to compile.

This constitutes a fairly complete submission of an entirely new
floating point type which conforms to IEEE 754 as a 16-bit storage
class. Conversion between qfloat16 and float is currently performed
through a sequence of lookup tables. Global-level functions
qRound(), qRound64(), qFuzzyCompare(), qFuzzyIsNull(), and
qIsNull() each with a qfloat16 parameter have been included
for completeness.
[ChangeLog][QtCore] Added new qfloat16 class.
