Specialized `bfloat16_impl::float_to_bfloat16_rtne(float)` for normal floating point numbers, infinity and zero, in order to improve the performance of `bfloat16::bfloat16(const T&)` for integer argument types.
A reduction of more than 20% of the runtime duration of conversion from int to bfloat16 was observed, using Visual C++ 2019 on Windows 10.
Conversion from `bfloat16` to `float` and `double` is lossless. It seems natural to allow the conversion to be implicit, as the C++ language also support implicit conversion from a smaller to a larger floating point type.
Intel's OneDLL bfloat16 implementation also has an implicit `operator float()`: https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneDNN/blob/v1.5/src/common/bfloat16.hpp
- Guard fundamental types that are not available pre C++11
- Separate subsequent angle brackets >> by spaces
- Allow casting of Eigen::half and Eigen::bfloat16 to complex types
The original tensor casts were only defined for
`SrcCoeffRatio`:`TgtCoeffRatio` 1:1, 1:2, 2:1, 4:1. Here we add the
missing 1:N and 8:1.
We also add casting `Eigen::half` to/from `std::complex<T>`, which
was missing to make it consistent with `Eigen:bfloat16`, and
generalize the overload to work for any complex type.
Tests were added to `basicstuff`, `packetmath`, and
`cxx11_tensor_casts` to test all cast configurations.
Added missing `pmadd<Packet2f>` for NEON. This leads to significant
improvement in precision than previous `pmul+padd`, which was causing
the `pcos` tests to fail. Also added an approx test with
`std::sin`/`std::cos` since otherwise returning any `a^2+b^2=1` would
pass.
Modified `log(denorm)` tests. Denorms are not always supported by all
systems (returns `::min`), are always flushed to zero on 32-bit arm,
and configurably flush to zero on sse/avx/aarch64. This leads to
inconsistent results across different systems (i.e. `-inf` vs `nan`).
Added a check for existence and exclude ARM.
Removed logistic exactness test, since scalar and vectorized versions
follow different code-paths due to differences in `pexp` and `pmadd`,
which result in slightly different values. For example, exactness always
fails on arm, aarch64, and altivec.
The NEON `pcast` operators are all implemented and tested for existing
packets. This requires adding a `pcast(a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h)` for casting
between `int64_t` and `int8_t` in `GenericPacketMath.h`.
Removed incorrect `HasHalfPacket` definition for NEON's
`Packet2l`/`Packet2ul`.
Adjustments were also made to the `packetmath` tests. These include
- minor bug fixes for cast tests (i.e. 4:1 casts, only casting for
packets that are vectorizable)
- added 8:1 cast tests
- random number generation
- original had uninteresting 0 to 0 casts for many casts between
floating-point and integers, and exhibited signed overflow
undefined behavior
Tested:
```
$ aarch64-linux-gnu-g++ -static -I./ '-DEIGEN_TEST_PART_ALL=1' test/packetmath.cpp -o packetmath
$ adb push packetmath /data/local/tmp/
$ adb shell "/data/local/tmp/packetmath"
```
The use of the `packet_traits<>::HasCast` field is currently inconsistent with
`type_casting_traits<>`, and is unused apart from within
`test/packetmath.cpp`. In addition, those packetmath cast tests do not
currently reflect how casts are performed in practice: they ignore the
`SrcCoeffRatio` and `TgtCoeffRatio` fields, assuming a 1:1 ratio.
Here we remove the unsed `HasCast`, and modify the packet cast tests to
better reflect their usage.

- Add EIGEN_HAS_CONSTEXPR to cxx11_tensor_argmax_sycl.cpp to fix build problems on Windows
