fix: long arrays in query converted to objects

[stafyniaksacha]

Description

I issued same issue as explained here expressjs/body-parser#289

When using more that 20 fileds, directus don't get the query and return unrelevent results (ex: requested id when using items.readOne controller)

await directus
  .items('xxx')
  .readOne('xxx', {
    fields: [
      'field_1',
      // ...
      'field_21', // <- this one breaks
    ]
  })

Another solution that allowing Infinite in body-parser would be to update sanitizeFields to allow parsing objects

Thank you very much for this pull request!
However, for the reasons outlined in #16745 (comment) we cannot accept that as a solution, so I'll proceed to close this pull request. Thanks for the understanding!

@paescuj Sound good to me.

Do you think using csv value for fields instead of array in directus sdk by default is a viable option? (that would let directus sdk infer fields)

How do you mean exactly?

Quering more than 20 fields won't work with directus sdk due to this limitation.
But sdk works when using coma separated value:

await directus
  .items('xxx')
  .readOne('xxx', {
    fields: [
      'field_1',
      // ...
      'field_21',
    ].join(',') as any // <- this convert fields to a string, so typescript can not infer the values, but it works
  })

Instead, we could do the join(',') inside the sdk before sending the request?

Ah I see, however I'd rather address the problem at its roots than add workaround patches to the SDK.

Ok, so dealing with keyed object inside directus where it attempt to loop to arrays?
