```
stage2: rework Type Payload layout

Add `Type.castTag` and note that it is preferable to call than
`Type.cast`. This matches other abstractions in the codebase.

Added a convenience function `Type.Tag.create` which really cleans up
the callsites of creating `Type` objects.

`Type` payloads can now share types. This is in preparation for another
improvement that I want to do.

```
