Description
These changes allow users of MongoDB Compass to use Binary.createFromHexString and Binary.createFromBase64 in queries

Without these, the only way to query for binary fields would be to use BinData, which forces base64 representation. By just updating the packages, Compass will be able to handle these queries (previously, the validation step would fail and there would be no way to run these queries except for in the shell)
Open Questions
The biggest change here is that I had to enable allowMethods for _parseFilter in
packages/query-parser/src/index.ts
, but all tests seem to pass with the option set totrue
