Support ObjectID as a datatype for search facets

I'm really interested in using search facets to boost search performance, but one of the fields that I want to filter by is an ObjectId. I believe the only supported facet types are [date, numberFacet, stringFacet].

    You can now transform documents for Atlas Search, enabling you to index and query (including `facet`) ObjectID fields as a String. See how here ( https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-search/transform-documents-collections/#example--add-or-modify-fields ).

    This feature is important and has a few use cases especially in optimizing batch jobs against large collections.

    We have a database containing over 55 million documents! It would be highly appreciated if we could incorporate a Facet data type for ObjectId. Our objective is to optimize the speed and efficiency of our system.
