### Rationale for this change .NET 5 introduced the [`System.Half`](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/introducing-the-half-type/) type, which represents 16-bit floats. This PR adds support for them in Apache Arrow. ### What changes are included in this PR? I multi-targeted the `Apache.Arrow` project to .NET 6 (because .NET 5 is unsupported) and added a `HalfFloatArray` type with a very similar implementation as the other floating-point array types. I also updated the README. ### Are these changes tested? Yes. I also refactored the array tests to reduce duplication among the various numeric types. ### Are there any user-facing changes? Yes. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service. To respond to the message, please log on to GitHub and use the URL above to go to the specific comment.
