   Primitive types do not carry any DFDL properties and so do not make for very good repTypes. To support primitive types as a repType, all DFDL proprties would need to come from the general format, which would only make sense if a few specific cases.
   
   Instead, we simply disallow primitive repTypes, instead requiring that repType be a QName to a simple global type definition, which DFDL properties can be put.
   
   This creates a new function to create a helpful diagnostic when it is detected that a repType references a primitive type. Additionally, dfdl:prefixLengthType already has this restriction, and is modified to use this new helper function.
   
   Deprecation/Compatibility:
   
   dfdlx:repType can no longer reference primitive types (e.g. xs:int). Instead, a global simple type definition should be created with that has a base of the primitive type.
