feat: implement FP8 and bfloat16 AI/ML datatypes

HDF5 2.0.0 compatibility - AI/ML datatypes (TASK-026).

Datatypes Implemented:
1. FP8 E4M3 (8-bit float, 4-bit exponent, 3-bit mantissa)
   - Range: ±448
   - Precision: ~1 decimal digit
   - Use case: ML training with high precision

2. FP8 E5M2 (8-bit float, 5-bit exponent, 2-bit mantissa)
   - Range: ±114688
   - Precision: ~1 decimal digit
   - Use case: ML inference with high dynamic range

3. bfloat16 (16-bit brain float, 8-bit exponent, 7-bit mantissa)
   - Range: ±3.4e38 (same as float32)
   - Precision: ~2 decimal digits
   - Use case: Google TPU, NVIDIA Tensor Cores, Intel AMX

Implementation:
- Full IEEE 754 compliance
- Special values: zero, ±infinity, NaN, subnormal numbers
- Round-to-nearest conversion (banker's rounding for bfloat16)
- Fast bfloat16 conversion (bit-shift only)

Files Created:
