util: Reimplement half <-> float conversions.

Removed u_half.py used to generate the table for previous method.

Previous implementation of float to half conversion was faulty for
denormalised and NaNs and would require extra logic to fix,
thus making the speedup of using tables irrelevant.

-# The table contents have been slightly changed so that the exponent
-# bias is now in the exponent table instead of the mantissa table (mostly
-# for cosmetic reasons, and because it theoretically allows a variant
-# that flushes denormal to zero but uses a mantissa table with 24-bit
-# entries).
-#
-# The tables are also constructed slightly differently.
-#
-
-# Note that using a 64K * 4 table is a terrible idea since it will not fit
-# in the L1 cache and will massively pollute the L2 cache as well
-#
-# These should instead fit in the L1 cache.
-#
-# TODO: we could use a denormal bias table instead of the mantissa/offset
-# tables: this would reduce the L1 cache usage from 8704 to 2304 bytes
-# but would involve more computation
-#
-# Note however that if denormals are never encountered, the L1 cache usage
-# is only about 4608 bytes anyway.
