Description

For every used header, for every used type in unittests, the following needs to be done:

```c
REGISTER_UMOCK_ALIAS_TYPE(some_type, some_defined_type).
```

In most cases the some_defined_type can only be 1. For example:

```c
REGISTER_UMOCK_ALIAS_TYPE(BSDL_FILE_LL_HANDLE, void*);
```

(in this case, the type is `void*` because nobody should care what's behind it).

The proposal is to have in the header that initially defines `some_type` some method that is equivalent to REGISTER_UMOCK_ALIAS_TYPE(BSDL_FILE_LL_HANDLE, void*);

Best Regards,
Andrei Porumb

Research direction

Review the headers that define types used by the unit tests and the current per-type REGISTER_UMOCK_ALIAS_TYPE declarations. Determine how a defining header could provide an equivalent global registration mechanism without relying on repeated test setup. Done means the used unit-test types are available through that mechanism consistently.
