issue: useWatch returns any by default

Steps to reproduce

use useWatch in a form provider while providing no generic to useWatch or useFormContext.

the only way i've found to make it work is by setting the generic on useFormContext.
even if i set the default value in useWatch i still get any.

Expected behaviour

unknown should be returned.

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

[ImLunaHey]

this doesn't explain why any is being used instead of unknown. this is a bug not a discussion.

[ImLunaHey]

the bug is that you're using any in this record instead of unknown. users should have type safe code by default.

react-hook-form/src/types/fields.ts

Line 26 in 85a57c6

export type FieldValues = Record<string, any>;
