in Channel put!, convert value to Channel type

`put!(ch::Channel{T}, v)` should convert `v` to type `T`.

This can prevent errors like:

```
julia> c = Channel{Int}(0)
Channel{Int64}(sz_max:0,sz_curr:0)

julia> @async put!(c, :a)
Task (runnable) @0x00007ff5b9d79270

julia> isready(c) && take!(c)
ERROR: TypeError: in take_unbuffered, in typeassert, expected Int64, got Symbol
Stacktrace:
 [1] take_unbuffered(::Channel{Int64}) at ./channels.jl:323
 [2] take!(::Channel{Int64}) at ./channels.jl:306

```
