> [JS] Float16Vector toArray should be zero-copy

> The {{Float16Vector#toArray()}} implementation currently transforms each half
> float into a single float, and returns a Float32Array. All the other
> {{toArray()}} implementations are zero-copy, and this deviation would break
> anyone expecting to give two-byte half floats to native APIs like WebGL. We
> should instead include {{Float16Vector#toFloat32Array()}} and
> {{Float16Vector#toFloat64Array()}} convenience methods that do rely on
> copying.
