More custom data types

[stevekm]

As described here;

https://www.commonwl.org/v1.0/CommandLineTool.html#SchemaDefRequirement

https://www.commonwl.org/user_guide/19-custom-types/index.html

Right now only record and enum classes are able to be used as custom data types.

Would be great if this could be expanded to other types. For example, a File type such as this schema we frequently use for a reference genome fasta file

- name: RefFasta
  doc: reference genome .fasta file
  type: File
  secondaryFiles:
    - .amb
    - .ann
    - .bwt
    - .pac
    - .sa
    - .fai
    - ^.dict
