[Bug] Update-ModuleManifest fails if TypesToProcess or FormatsToProcess have values
If a module contains valid values for the TypesToProcess or FormatsToProcess properties, Update-ModuleManifest fails with this error:
> Update-ModuleManifest -Path .\Carbon\Carbon.psd1 -Tags 'fubar','snafu'

My Carbon module's manifest (https://bitbucket.org/splatteredbits/carbon/src/2.1.1/Carbon/Carbon.psd1?fileviewer=file-view-default) points to valid .ps1xml files that exist, but Update-ModuleManifest doesn't seem to think so.
Steps to Reproduce
1. Create a module manifest.
2. Create a types .ps1xml file in the same directory as the manifest.
3. Update the module manifest's TypesToProcess property to be the name of the types .ps1xml file (no path necessary since it is in the same directory as the manifest.
4. Run any Update-ModuleManifest command against the manifest. Note the error.
I expect that Update-ModuleManifest would handle external dependencies and either ignore them, or copy them to its temporary directory.
