Literal representations used in Arcs should use a type table #7138

(from b/172170292)

Currently each literal of a Arcs Manifest states the handle type for each handle inline. This leads to repetitions and deep / recursive types have equally deep + recursive literal representations leading to stack over flows.

Ideally, a table would be used to describe each type allowing a smaller representation that is more general (supporting nesting/recursion).
