Description of proposed changes

While working on #1073, I thought it was reasonable to avoid casting and non-null assertions across the entire codebase. This is an attempt to enforce it and address outstanding violations.

Checklist

I originally wanted `no-non-null-assertion`, then realized that it was
part of the strict ruleset. All violations of this ruleset seem
reasonable to address, which I will do in subsequent commits.

<https://typescript-eslint.io/users/configs/#strict>
With the current code, it is not possible for these values to be
undefined. Make this clear with type narrowing.
Instead of checking null-ness to initialize an empty array then using a
non-null assertion which is loosely coupled to the preceding line, do
both in one line.
With the current code, it is not possible for this to be
undefined. Make this clear with type narrowing.
ESLint has no way of knowing that this is safe code. Add an exception
for this line with a comment explaining what it does.
The parent constructor is automatically used by default.

<https://typescript-eslint.io/rules/no-useless-constructor/>
This should not be used unless there is no other way for the TypeScript
compiler to infer the type properly. In such cases, a comment with
per-line exception should be used.

I will address existing violations in subsequent commits.
This properly handles any new changes to input values defined by the
form.
I remember this was tricky and couldn't figure out a way to map
featured-analyses.yaml to SplashTile[] without this type assertion.
The type is already set on this variable.
I'm not sure if it's possible for a non-Error error to be thrown in
these parts, but TypeScript thinks it is possible and it's easy to
handle.

Hmm, I think this warrants a separate error boundary for static-site/src/components/Groups/Tiles/index.tsx.
