typing.Any not handled properly as an output from a csp.node

[NeejWeej]

Describe the bug
typing.Any is not handled properly. This occurs both if CSP_PYDANTIC is set as an environment behavior or not

To Reproduce

import csp
import typing

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

import sys

print(csp.__version__); print(sys.version); print(sys.platform)

@csp.node
def val(x: csp.ts[object]) -> csp.ts[typing.Any]:
    return x

@csp.node
def val2(x: csp.ts[typing.Any]) -> csp.ts[object]:
    return x

csp.run(val2, csp.const(1), starttime=datetime.utcnow(), endtime=timedelta(seconds=3))
csp.run(val, csp.const(1), starttime=datetime.utcnow(), endtime=timedelta(seconds=3))  # fails here

Expected behavior
Both of these should pass

Outputs from csp nodes are defined on the c++ level, which means it is much more difficult to fix

If we treat Any as if it were object this would work, but im not sure if the semantics are exact ( or if it matters )

So that kinda works, but according to the Python docs, Any should also be able to be assigned to anything.

So like this (note we can assign s = a below)

source: https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#the-any-type

ts[object] doesn't quite fit since I'd need to cast it back to the correct type. Like, this example

import csp

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

@csp.node
def func() -> csp.ts[object]:
    with csp.alarms():
        a_alarm = csp.alarm(bool)
    with csp.start():
        csp.schedule_alarm(a_alarm, datetime.now() + timedelta(seconds=1), 8)
    
    if csp.ticked(a_alarm):
        return a_alarm


@csp.node
def my_int(x: csp.ts[int]):
    if csp.ticked(x):
        print(x)

@csp.graph
def g():
    a = func()
    my_int(a)

csp.run(
    g,
    starttime=datetime.utcnow(),
    endtime=timedelta(1),
)

fails with this error without pydantic type checking

csp.impl.types.instantiation_type_resolver.TSArgTypeMismatchError: In function my_int: Expected ts[int] for argument 'x', got ts[object]

and with pydantic type checking

1 validation error for my_int
x
  Value error, cannot validate ts[object] as ts[int]: <class 'object'> is not a subclass of <class 'int'>. [type=value_error, input_value=Edge( tstype=csp.impl.typ...t_idx=0, basket_idx=-1 ), input_type=Edge]
