Own dot-notation filter types

[avaly]

The MongoDB team is planning to remove the default dot-notation support from the Filter type in the upcoming v5 of the driver.

See: mongodb/node-mongodb-native#3520

We want to adopt those types inside Papr, in order to keep Papr filters type safe.

Although they are removing dot-notation support from the Filter, they are also creating a new experimental type StrictFilter that keep the dot-notation.

What do you think if we try to convince them to implement a StrictRootFilterOperators too and encourage them to use it in the StrictFilter?

That would solve all our issues, right?

mongodb/node-mongodb-native#3520 (comment)

I would rather not use their StrictFilter types, since they still mix in Document in there. So we'd like to bring those types into Papr and own them. We can definitely follow the upstream changes and bring in improvements as they come in there.

MongoDB has released the v5.0.0 of Node driver with the StrictFilter changes (https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native/releases)
