Remove generic class constraint on ICommandBus.Invoke

See original GitHub issue

Currently the ICommandBus.Invoke<T>() method has a generic constraint requiring T to be a class. This seems to be only to help simplify the casting of the return value as the method’s return is:

   return result as T;

This limits the usefulness as, for performance reasons, many return values are struct results.

Just like you said, was only because of the casting mechanics. I’m getting this right now.

I don’t know why it would have Mark, and there is a test for using structs as messages. If it is, I’m happy to take a PR
