    Introduce a type registry as a simplified catalog

    Currently simply provides a compatible stateless facade to catalog.  A lot 
more to do -- commit describes the plans -- but I want early review and of 
course to try to avoid any merge conflicts!
    
    Idea of type registry is that this will allow us to generalize atop types 
(soon adding "beans" alongside the "specs" which is all that catalog previously 
supported) in order to:
    * simplify persistence/rebind across versions
    * define types for local resolution, e.g. when uploading a plan
    * define types to be used in specialized YAML, e.g. listing tasks for an 
effector

    introduce BrooklynTypeRegistry and start migrating Catalog to it
    
    remove some of the deprecated Catalog methods, and change many lookups to 
catalog to lookup in the type registry.
    
    NEXT - immediate low-hanging fruit:
    * move the TypeReg classes to where they belong
    * finish changing lookups in catalog so all reads go through registry
      (but writes still go to catalog)
    
    NEXT - provide new features:
    * add TypeReg for Beans, so types can be registered (at least by brooklyn 
startup code) for relationships, tasks, etc
    * new TypeReg REST API, including allowing completion proposals for yaml
    * new PlanToSpecTransformer API, and use the TypeImplementation.kind to 
pick the transformer to use, so we don't try the stupid 
attempt-load-with-any-transformer
    
    NEXT - clean up:
    * persist registered types and REST API and addToCatalog allows defining 
new (e.g. new relationships)
    * get rid of catalog, or at least deprecate it and make all *writes* to 
TypeRegistry, and it stores things
    * optionally, allow interim/multiple TypeRegistry instances to be used when 
loading catalogs or to resolve deep blueprints
