Events: lift value type restriction to allow any DAG-CBOR encoded type #1111

Description

@raulk

Event entry values are defined to be DAG-CBOR in the FIP. This enables introspection through a self-describing format. However, we need to decide if this is just a recommendation, or we effectively enforce it in the FVM by validating with as little overhead as possible (we don't care about the payload, and we don't care to traverse any links in it, we just care that it's correct DAG-CBOR).

Long (heated) discussion here: #1049 (comment)

Next step is to take it to a broader audience within the FIP discussion, and to come back here and implement the outcome.
