This rearranges things so that there is a comprehensive "Generics" chapter under "Types" that covers the various aspects of generics. The general outline is:
I considered splitting this into sub-chapters, but I don't think it is too terribly long right now. I just worry it will grow to be quite long in the future.
There's a little more reworking such as mentioned in #925 about reworking the "Generic functions", but I didn't feel like doing more extensive rewriting at this time.
