The SPIR target currently allows for half precision floating point types to be
emitted using the LLVM intrinsic functions which convert half types to floats
and doubles. However, this is illegal in SPIR as the only intrinsic allowed by
SPIR is memcpy, as per section 3 of the SPIR specification. Currently this is
leading to an assert being hit in the Clang CodeGen when attempting to emit a
constant or literal _Float16 type in a comparison operation on a SPIR or SPIR64
target. This assert stems from the CodeGen attempting to emit a constant half
value as an integer because the backend has specified that it is using these
half conversion intrinsics (which represents half as i16). This patch prevents
SPIR targets from using these intrinsics by overloading the responsible target
info method, marks SPIR targets as having a legal half type and provides
additional regression testing for the _Float16 type on SPIR targets.
