A function that can take either float or half vectors returning an error message:

Is an error that is at best incomplete.

We definitely shouldn't force changes to keep a pattern that isn't providing the best possible user experience. I don't believe it is at all subjective to say that this diagnostic strongly implies that the `__builtin_hlsl_cross` builtin only accepts `float` values, when it also accepts `half`.

I will acknowledge that calling the diagnostic "terrible" was inappropriate and subjective, and I apologize of that. This diagnostic (and others) being in line with a pattern that other HLSL builtins have been using isn't a good justification because it is far from the pattern used by other Clang builtins, and many clang builtins have significantly more robust diagnostics. For example, the `err_typecheck_expect_scalar_or_vector` diagnostic reports that a scalar type was used when a vector type was required, or the widely used `err_builtin_invalid_arg_type`, which has a whole bunch of variations to provide concrete details about the expected type of the builtin argument.
