Similar to how we handle float, we could use REAL in the database for these values.

Research direction
The implementation should mirror how 'float' is handled in the Microsoft.Data.Sqlite provider. Look at the existing float handling code in the provider's type mapping (e.g., in the SqliteTypeMappingSource or similar). The issue suggests using REAL as the storage type for Half values. Ensure that the mapping is consistent with other floating point types and that proper conversions are added for reading and writing.
