any type usages in frontend (#7617)
# Description of Changes Follow-on from #7334. Fix more `any` type usages and ban them in the linter. We're starting to get down to only difficult folders left now, so some of these fixes replace an excluded folder with a couple of individual files to reduce scope to manageable levels. There are two real behaviour changes in this PR because of bugs that were never caught due to the lack of proper typing: - In the Google Drive service, `lastModified` was always `undefined` because it should have been read via `lastModifiedUtc`, which it now is. This means that files being read from Google Drive should now accurately retain their last modified date from Drive. - In the error toasts, there was translation logic to try and make friendlier error messages, but it'd never actually fire since it relied on `i18n` being written to `globalThis`, which it never was. It now imports the singleton instead so that translation should start working. I also had to tweak the way that FitText works because it was relying on `any` typing to mix refs between different places where they weren't technically compatible but I've changed it to go via a function and the behaviour doesn't change.
