[IR][BFloat] Add BFloat IR type
Summary: The BFloat IR type is introduced to provide support for, initially, the BFloat16 datatype introduced with the Armv8.6 architecture (optional from Armv8.2 onwards). It has an 8-bit exponent and a 7-bit mantissa and behaves like an IEEE 754 floating point IR type. This is part of a patch series upstreaming Armv8.6 features. Subsequent patches will upstream intrinsics support and C-lang support for BFloat.
