tcg: Fix helper function vs host abi for float16

Depending on the host abi, float16, aka uint16_t, values are
passed and returned either zero-extended in the host register
or with garbage at the top of the host register.

The tcg code generator has so far been assuming garbage, as that
matches the x86 abi, but this is incorrect for other host abis.
Further, target/arm has so far been assuming zero-extended results,
so that it may store the 16-bit value into a 32-bit slot with the
high 16-bits already clear.

Rectify both problems by mapping "f16" in the helper definition
to uint32_t instead of (a typedef for) uint16_t.  This forces
the host compiler to assume garbage in the upper 16 bits on input
and to zero-extend the result on output.
