Description

Currently, ListType and SetType have getElementsType, while MapType has getValuesType (along with getKeysType).

It might make sense to unify these types and make all three types have getValuesType, which would simply mean renaming for Set and List and pulling the method up to CollectionType. This would make #7826 a bit simpler.
