typeorm Not Compatible with Latest Version of Mongo

[marc-wilson]

Issue description

Mongo dependency bug

Expected Behavior

I would be able to use the latest supported version of the the mongo npm package.

Actual Behavior

You can only have mongodb 5.8 installed.

Steps to reproduce

• Install latest version of mongodb npm package (v6.6.0)
• Install typeorm
• Observe npm error for dependency error

My Environment

Dependency	Version
Operating System
Node.js version	x.y.zzz
Typescript version	x.y.zzz
TypeORM version	x.y.zzz

Additional Context

I have a project where I am experimenting with typeorm. I am using it in a monorepo and right now it's scoped to SQL only. I am trying to update mongodb to the latest version (6.6.0) but I am receiving an error because typeorm wants it to be 5.8.

Looking at the package.json, it looks like mongodb 6.3.0 is registered as a dev dependency and mongo 5.8 is a peer dependency. I'm assuming the peer dependency of 5.8 in typeorm is what is preventing me from updating my unrelated project to the lastest package.
