Configure a new Artifact Type

Centralizes artifact configuration in one yaml entry.
Allow the configuration of a new artifact type without
the need of code changes.
The configuration file now is used as a source of
artifacts types instead the artifact type enum.
The enum will be used as a source of base artifact types
and also in hard coded business rules.
