Steven Hawkins resolved TEIID-2317.
-----------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: 8.3
       Resolution: Done


Update the logic to only convert to the default runtime type if a non-object type is desired.  Also removed the SourceTransform logic from the DataTypeManager.

> Teiid automatically converts char[] and byte[] to binary/clob representations as there are many cases where drivers return these values.  That conversion is taking place however without consulting the target type.  It would probably be better to delay this conversion for char[]/byte[] instances until an explicit cast is performed.
