FIX16Mul

This function multiplies two signed 16-bit fixed-point numbers. The resolution (number of decimal places) of the numbers does not have to be the same. The resolution of the number with the higher number of decimal places is reduced before multiplication. This means that the decimal places of the number with the higher resolution are truncated. The result of the multiplication is a signed 16-bit fixed-point number.
