90c1a95eef More type cleanups
SPA_ID_* -> SPA_TYPE_*. We use 'type' for all registered types.
ID refers to either a registered type or an enum.
Improve introspection of object ids. Make 0 an invalid enum and
use it to look up the object id type.
Move some type-info files together.
Swap type and id of the object, we first specify the type and then
the id because the meaning of the id depends on the object type.

fca3e1d85d Remove dynamic types
Do not use dynamic types anymore. The reason is that it's difficult:

- to maintain a shared type database over a network.
- the extra overhead when translating between processes and for
  maintaining the translation tables.
- race conditions in translating in RT-threads, this is a problem
  because we want to make event streams.

We now have simple enums with types and extension points for all
types. This is also nicer to use in general.
We don't need the mapper anymore or pass strings around as types.
There is a parallel type info system to get more info about ids and
enums and their hierarchy. It can also be used for debugging.
