8373344: Add support for min/max reduction operations for Float16

[yiwu0b11]

This patch adds mid-end support for vectorized min/max reduction operations for half floats. It also includes backend AArch64 support for these operations.
Both floating point min/max reductions don’t require strict order, because they are associative.

It will generate NEON fminv/fmaxv reduction instructions when max vector length is 8B or 16B. On SVE supporting machines with vector lengths > 16B, it will generate the SVE fminv/fmaxv instructions.
The patch also adds support for partial min/max reductions on SVE machines using fminv/fmaxv.

Ratio of throughput(ops/ms) > 1 indicates the performance with this patch is better than the mainline.
