When we introduced the distinction between "defined" and "alias" types we retained the notion of a "named" type (any type with a name). The predeclared types (which all have names) simply remained named types. This CL clarifies the spec by stating excplicitly which predeclared types are defined types (or at least "act" like defined types), and which ones are alias types. Fixes #21785.
