fix($state): register states at config-time

fix($urlMatcherFactory): register types at config-time

- allows Types to be referenced before runtime
- reverts 97f8d90
- partial revert 838b747

fix($state): handle parent.name when parent is obj

 - during state registration, properly grab parent.name and queue state definition, if parent is an object reference
 - Adding comment for commit 838b747
