> Add a new  Float16lVector type and corresponding concrete vector classes, in addition to existing primitive vector types, maintaining operation parity with the FloatVector type.
> - Add necessary inline expander support.
>    - Enable intrinsification for a few vector operations, namely ADD/SUB/MUL/DIV/MAX/MIN/FMA.
> - Use existing Float16 vector IR and backend support.
> - Extended the existing VectorAPI JTREG test suite for the newly added Float16Vector operations.
>  
> The idea here is to first be at par with Float16 auto-vectorization support before intrinsifying new operations (conversions, reduction, etc).
> 
> The following are the performance numbers for some of the selected Float16Vector benchmarking kernels compared to equivalent auto-vectorized Float16OperationsBenchmark kernels.
