    A structure describing a user-defined type (UDT) stored on the database.

    This object is used for the items returned by the database `list_types` method.
    `ListTypeDescriptor` expresses all information received by the Data API, including
    (when provided) the UDT name as found on the database, the UDT name and possibly a
    sub-object detailing the allowed operations with the UDT.

    This object must be able to describe any item returned from the Data API:
    this means it can describe "unsupported" UDTs as well (i.e. those which have been
    created outside of the Data API). Unsupported UDTs lack some attributes compared
    to the fully-supported ones.

    Attributes:
        udt_type: a value of either the TableUDTColumnType or
            the TableUnsupportedColumnType enum, depending on the UDT support status.
        udt_name: the name of the UDT as is stored in the database (and in a keyspace).
        definition: the definition of the type, i.e. its fields and their types.
        api_support: a structure detailing what operations the type supports.
