From the beginning, Owl was designed to only call event handler on
components that are mounted in the DOM. The main benefit is that if a
component is destroyed, we are guaranteed to not execute any useless (or
potentially dangerous code).
However, there is one downside: if a component tree is being mounted,
and a child component trigger an event in its mounted hook, then it
cannot be caught by the parent, since the parent is technically not yet
mounted.
This may not be a good situation, but the point is that Owl
unnecessarily prevent the handler to be called.
We can fix this issue by simply checking if the component is not destroyed
instead of checking that it is mounted.

In most cases, we just want Component<any, Env>. But since it was so
annoying to have always the type Env, we actually used
Component<any,any> everywhere.
With this commit, the generic types have a default (and their order is
swapped), so we can simply use Component in most cases, and
Component<Props> when we want to type the props.
