Math: Optimize 16 Bit elementwise matrix multiplication function

Implemented optimizations in the 16-bit elementwise
matrix multiplication function by changing accumulator
data type from int64_t to int32_t. This reduces the
instruction cycle count i.e. reducing cycle count by
~51.18%.

Enhance pointer arithmetic within loops for better
readability and compiler optimization opportunities

Eliminate unnecessary conditionals by directly
handling Q0 data in the algorithm's core logic

Update fractional bit shift and rounding logic for more
accurate fixed-point calcualations

Performance gains from these optimizations include a 1.08%
reduction in memory usage for the elementwise matrix
multiplication.
