When using the Lua transform with a function like this:
the resulting event has the value converted back to a string:
This PR changes the transform to preserve types, and also adds support for setting fields to boolean values, saving the need for further processing to restore the types. It also slightly changes the behavior to drop fields when set to invalid types, rather than erroring out the function. I'm not sure what impact this will have when it comes to #704, however.
Fixes #857.
