[base-controller] Fix any usage in BaseControllerV1 (#3959)

## Explanation

- For runtime property assignment, use `as unknown as` instead of `as
any`.
- Change the types for `BaseControllerV1` class fields `initialConfig`,
`initialState` from `C`, `S` to `Partial<C>`, `Partial<S>`.
- Initial user-supplied constructor options do not need to be complete
`C`, `S` objects, since `internal{Config,State}` will be populated with
`default{Config,State}`.
- For empty objects, prefer no type assertions or `as never` (`never` is
assignable to all types).
- Fix code written based on outdated TypeScript limitation.
- Generic spread expressions for object literals are supported by
TypeScript: microsoft/TypeScript#28234
