### Description Remove unused and confusing special constants in MLFloat16 and BFloat16 types. ### Motivation and Context While looking at adding a specialization for std::numeric_limits for the 16-bit floating point types, I found that there are various special constants in those types that are confusing or just wrong. MLFLoat16::Epsilon is not an epsilon at all, but approximates "e". Looks like a copy-paste bug. BFloat16::Epsilon does not correspond to `numeric_limits::epsilon()`, nor even to the C# Float.Epsilon. Instead, it corresponds to `numeric_limits::min()` which was really confusing to me. The "MinValue" constants does correspond to the C# `Float.MinValue` constant, but this is C++ so it would be better renamed to "LowestValue" since it corresponds to `numeric_limits::lowest()`. As it was unused except for some unit tests I have replaced it with the equivalent `MaxValue.Negate()` here. There's also an unused `kSignaling_NaNBits` constant which is just wrong (has the same value as `kPositiveInfinityBits` instead of a NaN). |

ONNX Runtime is a cross-platform inference and training machine-learning accelerator.
ONNX Runtime inference can enable faster customer experiences and lower costs, supporting models from deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow/Keras as well as classical machine learning libraries such as scikit-learn, LightGBM, XGBoost, etc. ONNX Runtime is compatible with different hardware, drivers, and operating systems, and provides optimal performance by leveraging hardware accelerators where applicable alongside graph optimizations and transforms.
