Using lolremez to find half precision polynomials or arbitrary bits precision fixed point

As stated in the title, we may want to find a polynom based on arbitrary, lower than 32 bits, precision.
Looks like there is a lol/half but it's a very precise f16 implementation.

For now, lolremez is not smart enough to understand the precision of the type you'll be using, so the best approach is to use rounding on the coefficients it returns.
However it has been a longtime plan to implement type-aware polynomial solving, I'll let you know when it is available.
