f16b

The tracking issue for this feature is: #160630


Enable the core::num::f16b type for values stored in the bfloat16 format.

f16b is a nominal library type, not a primitive floating-point type: it has no literal suffix, arithmetic operators, or numeric as casts. A compiler lang item connects its layout to the chosen backend’s representation.
