Anything else we need to know

This allows float16 (MTLPixelFormatRGBA16Float or kCVPixelFormatType_64RGBAHalf) as the backing format of an HTML canvas, in addition to the current 8-bit default. It also adds float32 as an option for ImageData (for the corresponding getImageData and putImageData calls).
