Subject: [PATCH] Expose BFloat in Python bindings (#8255)

There are two parts to support for BFloat16 in Python:
1) Ability to define kernels and AOT compile them [fixed in this PR]
2) Ability to call kernels from Python

This fixes part 1, which is what I need for my use case.  Part 2 is
blocked on bfloat16 support in Python buffer protocols. See #6849 for
more details.
