Upgrade Mongoose for 7.x compatibility

[winklerj]

Description

The current version of mongoose (6.10.3) uses the 4.14 MongoDB Node.js driver. According to the compatibility chart the current mongoose version will work with 7.x but won't support any new functionality https://www.mongodb.com/docs/drivers/node/current/compatibility/

Ideally the MongoDB driver is updated to >6.0 for continued support and compatibility

Solution Proposal

Similar to this upgrade to mongoose 6.10.3, all the mongoose dependencies will need upgraded #1470. Any incompatibilities will need fixed.

Hi @winklerj, have you tested this at all on your deployments? I'm haven't gone through the potential incompatibilities yet, and haven't received an alert that Mongo Atlas is force pushing us to a new version, so trying to work out the urgency and where to pull resources from.

I have not tested this yet, but I received a message from Mongo Atlas on Friday that the upgrade to 7.x would happen "in February 2024" with no specific date.
