Allow faceting for embeddedDocuments

At the moment embeddedDocuments does not allow number or date faceting. (https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-search/define-field-mappings/#std-label-bson-data-types-embedded-documents) In my opinion, this does not make the operator useful, since Faceting is now the standard for every search.

    Faceting on numbers and dates in arrays (including embeddedDocuments) is now supported. You must remove any `numberFacet` and `dateFacet` field mappings, and use the `number` and `date` field mapping types instead. See Changelog ( https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-search/changelog/#30-january-2025-release ).

    Both array and embeddedDocuments are supported, but you have to use the index type 'number' and not 'numberFacet' See: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-search/changelog/

    I went ahead and I have tested the root level as a number and as a number[] Facetting is not even working when it's an array of number which makes it almost not usable.

    No it is not working on nested fields/documents.

    I think this is implemented now, or am I wrong? at least this works for me. Can someone check this?
