Please see #588. This PR makes the local task call pattern (like when you run my_task() in a unit test directly, without a workflow), the same as the workflow call pattern. This cleans up the code a bit but more importantly will start to trigger the type engine for inputs and outputs. Please see the PR and the corresponding issue for more information.
NOTE!
Unit tests may need to change! This change is not 100% backwards compatible with existing unit tests because your task-only unit tests may expect the type engine to not have been triggered.
