fix(form-field): error in older versions of edge (#19698)

Some older versions of Edge will throw an error due to the way we were iterating over an `HTMLCollection`. This is actually something that TS throws a compilation error for, but we didn't catch it, because the variable was being inferred as `any`.

Fixes #17810.
