Mongo: Custom schema type support on _id field

Help me!
8

As said before, mongoose custom types are not supported by the agent.

The error is due to the frontend breaking because there is an unknown “ObjectIdOrString” type in the schema.

Here is a new version of the patch that will fix that issue

However, keep in mind that other issues will happen for sure at some point and you would be better off with not having a mixed type primary key in your models (for forest admin usage at least).
