finfo(...).tiny should be aliased to finfo(...).smallest_normal #70909

@pmeier

Description

@pmeier

The array API specification stipulates that the

smallest positive floating-point number with full precision

should be called smallest_normal. We are currently calling it tiny. See this discussion for the motivation behind this.
