Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Phase 11: Fix implicit any parameters (TS7006 & TS7031)

Complete elimination of implicit any parameter errors:
- Fixed ConfigureProvidersGrid.tsx: Added proper typing for ConfirmationModal props and provider handlers
- Fixed ProviderSetupModal.tsx: Added string type for keyName parameter in map function
- Fixed AddModelModal.tsx: Added comprehensive typing for ModalButtons props and option handlers
- Fixed OllamaForm.tsx: Added complete interface for component props and callback parameters
- Fixed ProviderConfiguationModal.tsx: Added React.FormEvent typing for form handler
- Fixed DefaultSubmitHandler.tsx: Added proper function parameter types with complex provider interface
- Fixed OllamaSubmitHandler.tsx: Added Record<string, unknown> typing for configValues
- Fixed CustomRadio.tsx: Added comprehensive interface for all component props
- Fixed Select.tsx: Added React.ComponentProps typing for ReactSelect props
- Fixed main.ts: Added proper typing for Electron dialog response

Reduced errors from 202 to 174 (28 errors eliminated)
Eliminated ALL TS7006 and TS7031 errors (34 implicit any parameter errors eliminated)
All linting checks pass with zero warnings
