This PR adds downcasting support for bf16 on TPUs. Per the XLA docs:

  • By default both torch.float and torch.double are torch.float on TPUs.
  • If XLA_USE_BF16 is set, then torch.float and torch.double are both bfloat16 on TPUs.
  • If XLA_DOWNCAST_BF16 is set, then torch.float is bfloat16 on TPUs and torch.double is float32 on TPUs.
