fpu/softfloat: Partial support for ARM Alternative half-precision 

For float16 ARM supports an alternative half-precision format which
sacrifices the ability to represent NaN/Inf in return for a higher
dynamic range.  The new FloatFmt flag, arm_althp, is then used to
modify the behaviour of canonicalize and round_canonical with respect
to representation and exception raising.

Usage of this new flag waits until we re-factor float-to-float conversions.
