No, I intentionally use `_Float16` here because I want to make it correspond to the type define `x` in Builtins.def
I think we should always use `x` (represents `_Float16`) rather than `h` (represents `__fp16`) when defining FP16 builtins. It doesn't make sense to to add new buildins for storage type, because all arithmetic operations should be promoted to `float`.
