`QueryMapper` with annotations and does not properly applies `PropertyValueConverter`

[judby]

• JAVA 17
• spring-boot 3.0.11
• spring-data-mongodb 4.0.10

Introduced a @LocalDateAsString annotation used on selected LocalDate fields to have them mapped to string in mongo.

And a LocalDateToStringPropertyConverterwhich simply converts to/from String/LocalDate.

Everything is fine with mapping and simple queries but with eg "range" queries the QueryMapper calls the converter with a bson Document which obviously fails with a ClassCastException.

The annotation/converter implementations are trivial, code can be found on GitHub.

When a query like below is executed targeting a field that has aforementioned annotation:

final var query = Query.query(where("date").gte(LocalDate.parse("2023-09-20")).lte(LocalDate.parse("2023-09-22")));

final var testEntities = mongoTemplate.find(query, TestEntity.class);

an exception is thrown in QueryMapper since it tries to invoke the converter with the bson Document representing the gte and lte expressions:

java.lang.ClassCastException: class org.bson.Document cannot be cast to class java.time.LocalDate (org.bson.Document is in unnamed module of loader 'app'; java.time.LocalDate is in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap')
