🐛fix(controller): support WaitForSync in custom TypedSyncingSource (#…

…3084)

* 🐛fix(controller): use generic WaitForSync

There is already support for defining `TypedSyncingSource` but the original code still checks for the original `SyncingSource` before callign `WaitForSync(ctx)` which does not work for custom typed controller.

this fix should be backported to v0.19

* test
