qfloat16: make native std::numeric_limits<qfloat16> constexpr

In C++23 with std::float16_t present (QFLOAT16_IS_NATIVE), the
_limit_xxxx() methods in qfloat16 need to set the native type, not rely
on the union trick because that isn't allowed in constexpr mode.

                    in ‘constexpr’ expansion of ‘operator<=>(Max, std::numeric_limits<double>::max())’
qfloat16.h:209:5:   in ‘constexpr’ expansion of ‘compareThreeWay((* & lhs), ((double)rhs))’
qfloat16.h:209:5:   in ‘constexpr’ expansion of ‘(& lhs)->qfloat16::operator NativeType()’
    error: accessing ‘qfloat16::<unnamed union>::nf’ member instead of initialized ‘qfloat16::<unnamed union>::b16’ member in constant expression
