This always goes from the source type to the 32-bit variant of the source
type.  However, for something like a uint64_t -> float16 cast, this is
incorrect because the entire range of uint64_t is representable as float16
and this will cause a uint32_t cast in the middle.  I think what you want
is to always convert to 32-bit float as the middle type.

When doing a double -> [u]int8_t conversion, simply going through 32-bit
float isn't going to yield the correct results.  If, for instance, you have
a double that's just below 5.0 but close enough that a rtne conversion to
32-bit float will make it 5.0 exactly, then this will yield 5 where it
should yield 4.  If, on the other hand, we always use a 32-bit (with a
matching sign) integer type for both directions of the conversion, we
should get the correct results because it will be a double -> [u]int32_t
conversion which should round reasonably.  For the direction where the
source is 8-bit, it doesn't matter.
