Changed the RiveViewModel's view() method to return a type erased AnyView to allow subclasses to override it. This is because currently in Swift opaque result types cannot be used for a non-final declaration within a class. I also removed some throws on methods in RiveViewModel to make the highest level of our API cleaner.
