Fix lint errors in Sparkline hover implementation

- Remove type assertions (as any) in favor of type guards
- Fix emotion CSS to use object notation instead of template literal
- Rename 'component' to 'view' in test files (testing-library convention)
- Add eslint-disable comments for necessary any types in tests
- Add proper uPlot typing for test mock objects
