[Bro-Dev] [JIRA] (BIT-1241) Plugin: HandlePluginResult fix for TYPE_ANY

[gclark (JIRA)]

     [ https://bro-tracker.atlassian.net/browse/BIT-1241?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

gclark updated BIT-1241:
------------------------
    Description: 
We should disable strict type sanity checking in HandlePluginResult for bro functions that return TYPE_ANY.

This is needed to wrap functions such as Queue::get() where the function is declared with a return type of 'any', but often returns items that are of a specific type (e.g. record).  Although a returned record value is valid, the type sanity check in Func::HandlePluginResult fails because TYPE_RECORD != TYPE_ANY.

  was:We should disable strict type sanity checking in HandlePluginResult for bro functions that return TYPE_ANY.
