/**
* Returns the maximum finite value capable of being represented by a numeric real type.
*
* ## Notes
*
* The following numeric real types are supported:
*
* -   `float64`: double-precision floating-point numbers
* -   `float32`: single-precision floating-point numbers
* -   `float16`: half-precision floating-point numbers
*
* @param dtype - numeric type
* @throws must provide a recognized numeric type
* @returns maximum finite value
*
* @example
* var m = realmax( 'float64' );
* // returns 1.7976931348623157e+308
*
* @example
* var m = realmax( 'float16' );
* // returns 65504.0
*
* @example
* var m = realmax( 'float32' );
* // returns 3.4028234663852886e+38
