Half type incomplete and incorrect.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The current Half type is incomplete, many operations defined on other number 
types are not defined for the Half type. It's also incorrect in places for 
example == should return false if both arguments are NaN.

Included is a patch for a more complete Half type, operations on it return 
floats in a similar way to how operations on Int16 return Int32. It is an 
immutable type in the same way that all basic number types are immutable, this 
is a breaking change as it means removing the setter for RawValue. It also 
includes basic Math methods Abs, Max, Min and Sign.

I'm most likely going to have to hand code the changes in your patch file. I 
have already dramatically changed the Half type to conform more closely to the 
.net standards and to our own standards in SlimMath. However, things such as 
immutability have not been touched so those will be good changes to make.

Thanks for doing this for me!
