Sasha 466dcd7189 feat: support where querying by join fields (#12075)
### What?
This PR adds support for `where` querying by the join field (don't
confuse with `where` querying of related docs via `joins.where`)

Previously, this didn't work:
```
const categories = await payload.find({
  collection: 'categories',
  where: { 'relatedPosts.title': { equals: 'my-title' } },
})
```

### Why?
This is crucial for bi-directional relationships, can be used for access
control.

### How?
Implements `where` handling for join fields the same as we do for
relationships. In MongoDB it's not as efficient as it can be, the old PR
that improves it and can be updated later is here
