Jeremy Furtek 55c2211a23 [APFloat] Add APFloat semantic support for TF32
This diff adds APFloat support for a semantic that matches the TF32 data type
used by some accelerators (most notably GPUs from both NVIDIA and AMD).

For more information on the TF32 data type, see https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2020/05/14/tensorfloat-32-precision-format/.
Some intrinsics that support the TF32 data type were added in https://reviews.llvm.org/D122044.

For some discussion on supporting common semantics in `APFloat`, see similar
efforts for 8-bit formats at https://reviews.llvm.org/D146441, as well as
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-adding-the-amd-graphcore-maybe-others-float8-formats-to-apfloat/67969.

A subsequent diff will extend MLIR to use this data type. (Those changes are
not part of this diff to simplify the review process.)

// C Language Family Front-end
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Welcome to Clang.  This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages
(C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM
compiler infrastructure project.

Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things
beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of
different source-level tools.  One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer.

If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read
the relevant web sites.  Here are some pointers:

If you have questions or comments about Clang, a great place to discuss them is
