Summary
Instead of hard-coding an exact version of the mongodb node driver, add a semver range. This should help with issues like #14877, where users want to use an older version of the mongodb node driver without downgrading Mongoose.
I also modified GitHub workflows to run tests against both the lowest mongodb node driver version in the semver range, and the latest version.
This is a fairly substantial change, I'll think about this some more over the weekend. Mongoose has pinned exact versions since before I became involved with the project, because historically Mongoose was a bit too tightly coupled to the MongoDB Node driver and patch releases in the MongoDB Node driver would create breaking changes in Mongoose on occasion. However, it has been years since we've seen that happen, both due to increased stability in the MongoDB Node driver and due to Mongoose no longer reaching into internal connection state regularly.
