Comparing different types should return null

[saig0]

Describe the bug If I compare two values of a different type, the engine returns a failure. But it should be more friendly and return null instead.

This applies to expressions with the following operators: =, !=, <, >, etc. And, this applies to unary-test expressions if the input value has a different type as the other value.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Evaluate the following expression

   "foo" = 100

2. Verify that the engine returns a failure:

   failed to evaluate expression '"foo" = 100': expected String but found 'ValNumber(100)'

Expected behavior According to the DMN spec, the comparison of different types should return null.
