Bug: Calling exists() with filters doesn't work SQLAlchemy contrib

[nielsvanhooy]

Description

Hi There.

i was testing something out and came across something of which i think is unintended.

in the file litestar/contrib/sqlalchemy/repository/_async.py specifically the function exists()

the function eventually calls self.count method which accepts filters.
however the function exists() doesn't accept *args ( or *filters in this case). (this is the same for the sync variant).
I tested it out with overriding this function and the behaviour that i was expecting seems to work then with filters.

signature of the function count() that exists() calls

    async def count(
        self,
        *filters: FilterTypes,
        statement: Select[tuple[ModelT]] | StatementLambdaElement | None = None,
        **kwargs: Any,
    ) -> int:

original code:

    async def exists(self, **kwargs: Any) -> bool:
        """Return true if the object specified by ``kwargs`` exists.

        Args:
            **kwargs: Identifier of the instance to be retrieved.

        Returns:
            True if the instance was found.  False if not found..

        """
        existing = await self.count(**kwargs)
        return existing > 0

overrided and working

    async def exists(self, *filters: FilterTypes, **kwargs: Any) -> bool:
        """Return true if the object specified by ``kwargs`` exists.

        Args:
            *filters: Types for specific filtering operations.
            **kwargs: Identifier of the instance to be retrieved.

        Returns:
            True if the instance was found.  False if not found..

        """
        existing = await self.count(*filters, **kwargs)
        return existing > 0

just wanted to know if was a bug/oversight for this functionality so that i can open a pull request.
