Allow strings for Ids in UpdateQuery for nested documents

What is the current behavior?
Currently when writing a query for a Schema with object ids (refs) in nested documents, the UpdateQuery expects ObjectIds for these nested properties. For all other top-level object id properties, the UpdateQuery either expects ObjectId or string.

What is the expected behavior?
Also allow strings for object ids on nested properties. Therefore make type alias _AllowStringsForIds in index.d.ts recursive:

  type _AllowStringsForIds<T> = {
    [K in keyof T]: [Extract<T[K], mongodb.ObjectId>] extends [never]
      ? T[K] extends object
        ? _AllowStringsForIds<T[K]>
        : T[K]
      : T[K] | string;
    };
