Description
This 2400 line file is trouble. Maybe if we can make some things point independent then we can add some to type_traits.h since that's what it is from this point onward.
Note: It's important that type_traits.h is type independent.

Research direction
Start by reviewing common/include/pcl/impl/point_types.hpp and the related discussion in pull request 3899. Identify which parts can be made point-independent and whether any belong in type_traits.h. Done means the large header is split while type_traits.h remains type-independent.
