Multiple problems with [@types/mongoose-delete]

[Paso]

The @types/mongoose-delete package has a few problems.

1. The count-method has been removed from mongoose 8.x
2. The SoftDeleteModel generic is missing arguments from the underlying mongoose.Model
3. The plugin interface is broken, see issue mongoose-delete#151

I have been unable to understand 3) but can work around it by doing

(schema as unknown as mongoose.Schema).plugin(...)

This PR should fix the first two issues #68633, not sure about the 3rd.

You're right, I think I misunderstood, but I assume this is what you mean? Not sure if there is an easier way of doing it without having to type everything out and update as mongoose changes?

interface SoftDeleteModel<TRawDocType,
    TQueryHelpers = {},
    TInstanceMethods = {},
    TVirtuals = {},
    THydratedDocumentType = mongoose.HydratedDocument<TRawDocType, TVirtuals & TInstanceMethods, TQueryHelpers>,
    TSchema = any>
        extends mongoose.Model<TRawDocType,
        TQueryHelpers,
        TInstanceMethods,
        TVirtuals,
        THydratedDocumentType,
        TSchema>
    {

Yes, that is what I had in mind, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is som way of reusing the types from mongoose that only the greyest of typescript wizards know of.

@alexbrazier Is there something blocking this change? Anything I can help with?

[alexbrazier]

@Paso I just submitted the last PR as I needed the update, but I didn't create or maintain the original package. Best way to get the changes would be to submit a new PR to DefinitelyTyped with the changes you need. I'd be happy to review it.
