This PR documents the new validation of filter operands on scalar and JSON attributes on the REST API filters page: an object operand (for example filters[meta][$eq][a]=1) now returns a 400 ValidationError instead of silently matching every row, and the same error is returned when a list operand such as $in exceeds the strapi::query middleware's arrayLimit (100 by default).
