* Return the result of block.call

This change allows blocks to return the result of `call` methods, thus allowing them to expose arbitrary data as needed.

My particular use case is I am using Vue to mount components inside of the larger editorjs framework. One of the components that we are developing can be thought of as a nested agenda, where labels need to be in an order like:

```
I. Top level
  a. second level
    i. third level
```

My plan is to have an orchestrator query all blocks, filter those that need labels prepended, and then programmatically tell each block (with another `call` method) to set its depth to the desired level. At that point, Vue can reactively update any labels, etc. that are needed.

I believe this change will allow for other such uses, and I imagine it should not break any existing code since it was returning `null` before.

* Disable ESLint for call method return value

Because we are returning the value of an arbitrary function, the return value can be anything (hence, the return type must be `any`). However, to reduce noise in ESLint output, we disable ESLint checking the line with the `any` type return.

* Change any type to unknown and add to CHANGELOG.md

Change any type of the call method to unknown but eslint shows error
saying the unknown type is undefined, Also, add the chnage to
CHANGELOG.md as an improvement with the link to the PR itself as no
issue was assigned with it.

* Add unknown to eslint globals

* upd
