### Rationale for this change When we added Float16 we did not update pyarrow to be able to convert from Python objects to Arrow. Float16 required numpy and it crashed if numpy was not present. ### What changes are included in this PR? Allow to not require numpy to generate float16 scalars and arrays on pyarrow and do not fail if numpy is not present. ### Are these changes tested? Yes, new tests have been added ### Are there any user-facing changes? No changes for old functionality. Users will be allowed to use float16 without requiring to use np.float16 and directly from Python objects -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
