I really don't think that is a good idea.
In particular, type_ctor_info is NOT a synonym for type_ctor_desc.
See the comments in runtime/mercury_type_desc.h.

I'd also like to keep type_desc and type_info as separate types,
perhaps with conversion functions to convert from one to the
other and vice versa, so that the assumption that they are
represented the same only occurs in one place.

So could you please back out this part of your change?
