feat: added type aliases for reflect kinds to provide a single access point

[Akalanka47000]

Summary by Sourcery

Provide centralized reflect.Kind aliases in the elemental package and migrate all schema Type definitions to use these new aliases instead of direct reflect.Kind references.

New Features:

• Introduce a new schema_reflect_types.go file that defines elemental aliases for common reflect.Kinds (e.g., Slice, Map, Struct, Interface, Array, Bool, numeric types, String) and a custom ObjectID alias.

Enhancements:

• Replace all direct reflect.* Kind usages in core schema definitions and tests with the corresponding elemental.* type aliases to unify type references.

Reviewer's Guide

This PR centralizes reflect.Kind usage by introducing alias variables in the elemental package and refactors existing code and tests to use these aliases (including a custom ObjectID type) instead of direct reflect.Kind references.

Hey @Akalanka47000 - I've reviewed your changes - here's some feedback:

• Relying on reflect.Kind for custom types like ObjectID can collide (e.g. primitive.ObjectID.Kind() == Array); consider updating Field.Type to accept reflect.Type directly for truly distinct types.
• The new alias file only covers a subset of reflect.Kinds—if you need pointer, function, channel, complex or unsafe types you should extend the list for completeness.

Here's what I looked at during the review

• 🟡 General issues: 1 issue found
• 🟢 Security: all looks good
• 🟢 Testing: all looks good
• 🟢 Documentation: all looks good

issue: Field.Type’s signature is inconsistent with custom reflect.Type support

Consider changing Field.Type to use reflect.Type or a union type to support both reflect.Kind and custom types, as implied by the updated comment.
