Add support for MongoDB Atlas $vectorSearch vector search (#11139)

Adds support for the `$vectorSearch` operator for
MongoDBAtlasVectorSearch, which was announced at .Local London
(September 26th, 2023). This change maintains breaks compatibility
support for the existing `$search` operator used by the original
integration (https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/pull/5338) due to
incompatibilities in the Atlas search implementations.
