Correct return type for render() method

[Nutomic]

I am currently trying to improve the code quality of our Inferno project by enabling various Typescript lints. Of these @typescript-eslint/no-unsafe-return is causing difficulties in render methods.

Based on the definition of Component, render() should return InfernoNode. However this doesnt satisfy the lint rule, it returns an error "Unsafe return of a value of type error". To fix this it is necessary to add an explicit conversion like this:

render(): InfernoNode {
  return (<span>Hello world</span>) as InfernoNode;
}

Doing this in every single render and view method would get extremely verbose. Is there any way to have the conversion done automatically?

There is probably missing mapping from InfernoNode to InfernoChild https://github.com/infernojs/inferno/blob/master/packages/inferno/src/core/types.ts#L17C13-L17C25
