[vectorIntrinsics+fp16] RFR: 8365967: C2 compiler support for HalffloatVector operations supported by auto-vectorization flow [v2]

[Jatin Bhateja]

> Hi All,
> 
> This patch extends VectorAPI inline expanders to infer Float16 vector IR based on the newly passed operType argument.
> We intend to leverage the existing IR and backend implementation of auto-vectorized Float16 operations. 
> Various HalffloatVector operators, namely ADD, SUB, MUL, DIV, MAX, MIN, and FMA, now emit FP16 ISA on x86 targets supporting AVX512-FP16 feature and AArch64 SVE targets.

> Best Regards,
