<!-- Please do not submit updates to dependencies unless it fixes an
issue. -->
<!-- Please try to limit your pull request to one type (bugfix, feature,
etc). Submit multiple pull requests if needed. -->
## What is the current behavior?
<!-- Please describe the current behavior that you are modifying. -->
As part of FW-2832 the team has an initiative to remove much of the
`any` usage in favor of stronger types. This will make modifications to
this codebase safer as we will have access to proper type checking.
## What is the new behavior?
<!-- Please describe the behavior or changes that are being added by
this PR. -->
- Removed several `any` usages in favor of stronger types.
Note that not all of the `any` types within these files have been
removed. I mainly stuck to the low hanging fruit 😄
## Does this introduce a breaking change?
- [ ] Yes
- [x] No
I intentionally made type changes that do not impact public APIs. Any
incorrect type changes would cause our CI checks to fail.
