Mutations ctx: ".patch" and ".replace" and "stripUnknownFields"

[danielyogel]

Hey,

Right now when updating a table, it looks like any extra fields causes the transaction to fail, AND to provide unrelated error message, which is very time consuming to debug.

I suggest either implement "stripUnknownFields", so the common way of updating using something like db.update({...rowFromDB, someField: "true"}) would EITHER strip extra fields (it throws because of the default fields _creationTime, and _id - which is very confusing), OR throw a compile time error (limited because of TS nature of objects) or BOTH of them. Plus the runtime error message should be clear that this is the problem, right now it just prints the "value" and "validator", and when you use them locally - it shows a wrong error (convex-js/issues/85).

Thanks!
