This function is used for ANY=>!ANY conversions in the compatibility
matrix to help differentiate between real NOOP (c_none) and pseudo
conversions that are theorically supported at config parse time but can
never occur at runtime,. That is, to explicit the fact that actual related
runtime operations (e.g.: ANY->IPV4) are not NOOP since they might require
some conversion to be performed depending on the input type.
When checking the conf we don't know the effective out types so
cast[pseudo type][pseudo type] is allowed in the compatibility matrix,
but at runtime we only expect cast[real type][(real type || pseudo type)]
because fetches and converters may not emit pseudo types, thus using
c_none() everywhere was too ambiguous.
The process will crash if c_pseudo() is invoked to help catch bugs:
crashing here means that a pseudo type has been encountered on a
converter's input at runtime (because it was emitted earlier in the
chain), which is not supported and results from a broken sample fetch
or converter implementation. (pseudo types may only be used as out_type
in sample definitions for compatibility checks at parsing time)
