refactor(types): widen Component type to include consutructor types

returned from `defineComponent`

ref: https://github.com/vuejs/vue-router-next/pull/421
also close #1880

Previous `Component` type is now exported as `ConcreteComponent`.

This introduces a minor breaking change when calling `h(comp, { ... })`
will now fail if `comp` is a of generic `Component` type, since it does
not specify what props it expects.
