[Building Sakai] KNL-260: move org.sakaiproject.content.types to utils

[john.bush at rsmart.com]

I not sure I favor this either.  We do a lot of extending of impls and  
end up having to include impl jars in our extended compnents.  It  
works just fine.  We chose to operate this way because it makes  
maintenance easier, as our changes are isolated.

I worry if we start moving stuff to util packages because people want  
to extend, pretty soon everything will be in util.
