[APFloat] Add support for f8E3M4 IEEE 754 type (#99698)
This PR adds `f8E4M3` type to APFloat.
`f8E3M4` type follows IEEE 754 convention
```c
f8E3M4 (IEEE 754)
- Exponent bias: 3
- Maximum stored exponent value: 6 (binary 110)
- Maximum unbiased exponent value: 6 - 3 = 3
- Minimum stored exponent value: 1 (binary 001)
- Minimum unbiased exponent value: 1 − 3 = −2
- Precision specifies the total number of bits used for the significand (mantissa),
including implicit leading integer bit = 4 + 1 = 5
- Follows IEEE 754 conventions for representation of special values
- Has Positive and Negative zero
- Has Positive and Negative infinity
- Has NaNs
Additional details:
- Max exp (unbiased): 3
- Min exp (unbiased): -2
- Infinities (+/-): S.111.0000
- Zeros (+/-): S.000.0000
- NaNs: S.111.{0,1}⁴ except S.111.0000
- Max normal number: S.110.1111 = +/-2^(6-3) x (1 + 15/16) = +/-2^3 x 31 x 2^(-4) = +/-15.5
- Min normal number: S.001.0000 = +/-2^(1-3) x (1 + 0) = +/-2^(-2)
- Max subnormal number: S.000.1111 = +/-2^(-2) x 15/16 = +/-2^(-2) x 15 x 2^(-4) = +/-15 x 2^(-6)
- Min subnormal number: S.000.0001 = +/-2^(-2) x 1/16 = +/-2^(-2) x 2^(-4) = +/-2^(-6)
