Add HalfToFloat + FloatToHalf operators to PyTorch (pytorch#45092)

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: pytorch#45092

Adding two operators
1. at::float_to_half -> Converts FP32 tensor to FP16 tensor
2. at::half_to_float -> Converts FP16 tensor to FP32 tensor.

These operators internally use the kernel provided by FBGeMM. Both C2 and PT will use the same FBGeMM kernel underneath.

Test Plan:
buck test //caffe2/test:torch -- .*test_half_tensor.*

Run benchmark locally using

```
buck run //caffe2/benchmarks/operator_benchmark/pt:tensor_to_test
```

AI Bench results are pending. I expect that not to finish as we have large queue with jobs pending for 2+ days.
