Reference: #128
Closes #157

This methods implement standard conversion logic from Schema* types into their associated tftypes.Type equivalent. For example, these can be used to prepare calls to the (DynamicValue).Unmarshal() method, which is necessary in many RPCs.

Preferably, these methods would have been named Type(), however the SchemaAttribute type implements a Type field and Go does not permit overlapping field and method names. Instead, the name ValueType() was chosen as an alternate designation as the tftypes.Type really represents a data value type, instead of a type constraint (sometimes also referred to as a schema type).
