tools/reset_database.py should remove postgres types
Motivation
----------
Since the sqlalchemy update (#4133) I am getting errors that types already exist on postgres after resetting the database (with or without --drop-everything) in my docker-compose environment.


Modification
------------
Since the `tools/reset_database.py` script is meant to "destroy" the database and leave nothing behind, one option would be to remove all types found in the database.
