fix: explictly declare types for mixin base classes

As of TypeScript 2.9, tsc will inline imports for inferred types with
the `import("...")` syntax. However, this inlining happens *after*
`paths` are resolved. This means that in places where we import from
`@angular/material/core` in source end up having relative paths (e.g.
`../core/common-behaviors/index`) in the generated d.ts files. These
relative import paths become incorrect when moved into our package
structure, breaking downstream apps.
