This option is confusingly named. What it actually controls is whether,
under the default of `-ffloat16-excess-precision=standard`, it is
beneficial for performance to perform calculations on float (without
intermediate rounding) or not. For `-ffloat16-excess-precision=none` the
LLVM `half` type will always be used, and all backends are expected to
legalize it correctly.
