  [APFloat] Add E4M3B11FNUZ

X. Sun et al. (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.5555/3454287.3454728) published
a paper showing that an FP format with 4 bits of exponent, 3 bits of
significand and an exponent bias of 11 would work quite well for ML
applications.

Google hardware supports a variant of this format where 0x80 is used to
represent NaN, as in the Float8E4M3FNUZ format. Just like the
Float8E4M3FNUZ format, this format does not support -0 and values which
would map to it will become +0.

This format is proposed for inclusion in OpenXLA's StableHLO dialect: https://github.com/openxla/stablehlo/pull/1308

As part of inclusion in that dialect, APFloat needs to know how to
handle this format.
