Ok, thanks.

[PATCH testsuite, arm] cache fp16 hw effective-target tests

[Sandra Loosemore]

In some bare-metal environments, the tests for fp16 runtime support fail 
in a way that causes a timeout rather than immediate failure.  (E.g., 
the runtime might provide a do-nothing exception handler that just sits 
in a tight loop and never returns.)  This patch changes the 
effective-target tests for fp16 hardware support to cache the result of 
the test so that we don't have to do this more than once.  I think it 
was probably just an oversight that it wasn't done this way originally, 
since the target is hardly likely to sprout fp16 instruction support 
midway through the test run anyway.  ;-)  Anyway, test results are the 
same with this patch, they just run faster.  OK to commit?
