[~slebresne] sorry for the delay, but could you rebase against latest trunk? Will review first thing once it's rebased, promise.

> Currently, user types are declared at the top level. I wonder however if we might not want to make them scoped to a given keyspace. It was not done in the initial patch for simplicity and because I was not sure of the advantages of doing so. However, if we ever want to use user types in system tables, having them scoped by keyspace means we won't have to care about the new type conflicting with another existing type.
> Besides, having user types be part of a keyspace would allow for slightly more fine grained permissions on them.
