mesa: Remove rounding bias in _mesa_float_to_half()

Not all float32 values can be exactly represented as a float16.
_mesa_float_to_half() rounded such intermediate float32 values to zero by
truncating unrepresentable bits in the mantissa.

This patch improves _mesa_float_to_half() by rounding intermediate float32
values to the nearest float16; when the float32 is exactly between two
float16 values we round to the one with an even mantissa. This behavior is
preferred over the old behavior because:
  - It has reduced bias relative to the old behavior.

  - It reproduces the behavior of real hardware: opcode F32TO16 in
    Intel's GPU ISA.

  - By reproducing the behavior of the GPU (at least on Intel hardware),
    compile-time evaluation of constant packHalf2x16 GLSL expressions will
    result in the same value as if the expression were executed on the GPU.
