[Web API type definition issue] ImageData constructor missing type `Float16Array`
Summary
Missing type in constructor
Expected vs. Actual Behavior
This is a fairly recent change, the ImageData constructor now accepts Float16Array as type for data in it's constructor, see:
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/imagebitmap-and-animations.html#imagedataarray
There already is an issue on MDN to reflect this.

Browser Support
- [x] This API is supported in at least two major browser engines (not two Chromium-based browsers).
Have Tried The Latest Releases
- [x] This issue applies to the latest release of TypeScript.
- [x] This issue applies to the latest release of
@types/web.
Additional Context
Browser support:
- Currently this is implemented in Chromium 137 and later
- The current source of Safari also has support, I haven't checked if this is already in the latest published version
@Bashamega Are you sure it is working that way? I'm asking because the documentation comment already has the proposed change, see https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript-DOM-lib-generator/blob/main/baselines/dom.generated.d.ts#L19070
I states that ImageData.data might be a Float16Array. It returns ImageDataArray, but the definition doesn't contain Float16Array. This is closely related since the definition of ImageDataArray is still wrong here. Interestingly @webref/idl has this since 3.61.4
Maybe a manual change is needed to reflect the current comment?
In any case there is a BCD issue now
Just an update: PR https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/pull/27661 which closed https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/issues/27547 has been merged into min and will certainly be in the next release.
Should I create a PR to remove https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript-DOM-lib-generator/blob/main/inputfiles/removedTypes.jsonc#L401-L407 ?
