Improve TypeScript types and error handling

- Created proper TypeScript types for Office API operations
- Replaced 'any' casts with appropriate types
- Added type-safe utility functions in office-types.ts
- Improved error handling with proper unknown type
- Added helper functions for PowerPoint shape operations
- Created proper TypeScript interface for webpack HMR

These changes improve code quality, maintainability, and help catch potential bugs at compile time rather than runtime.
