Description
### Enhancement Description
It's great we can export IfcVirtualElement.CLEARANCE and IfcVirtualElement.PROVISIONFORVOID.
However, they can only be exported as instance. If I search for the IfcVirutalElement in my Family I cannot find it:
It would be great If we could add this to Types so the Famiulies can be maintained better.
Revit 24.3.0.13, export to IFC4x3
Thanks!

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the export in Revit 2024.0.x with IFC4x3, checking how IfcVirtualElement.CLEARANCE and PROVISIONFORVOID are represented as instances. Trace the export path for these elements and identify how exported Types are handled. Done means the elements are available under Types and families can be maintained there.
