Description

DESCRIBE for CompositeType produces wrong output.

Currently:

CREATE TABLE compo.comp (
    id int PRIMARY KEY,
    comp 'org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.CompositeType'<int, text>
)...

Correct:

CREATE TABLE compo.comp (
    id int PRIMARY KEY,
    comp 'org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.CompositeType(Int32Type,UTF8Type)'
)...

Means:
1. use normal brackets instead of <>
1. use C* type names instead of CQL3 names
1. move types inside quoted
