This broke some user code.  Reconsidering.

> The CasCreationUtils.createCas(Collection,...) methods only accept certain kinds of objects in the Collection: AnalysisEngineDescription, CollectionReaderDescription, CasInitializerDescription, CasConsumerDescription, or ProcessingResourceMetaData.  Any other kinds of objects in the collection are silently ignored.
> A user tried to pass a TypeSystemDescription object, expecting that it would be used to initialize the CAS type system.  This didn't work but didn't cause an error, so the user had a hard time figuring out what was wrong with their application.
> There's no reason why these methods could accept TypeSystemDescription objects (as well as FsIndexCollection and TypePriorities objects).  Furthermore they should throw an error if passed a type of object that is not allowed.
