Do not replace arrays that contain null.

In schemaless mode, a document with counter: [null] can reach this adapter method. MongoDB matches {counter: null} against an array containing null, so the preliminary $set replaces the array with 0. The following $inc can then persist 1 instead of rejecting the non-numeric field. On a standalone MongoDB server, no transaction rolls back that data loss. Use a single atomic update that treats only a null or missing field as zero and rejects an array value. (mongodb.com)

Review comment at @src/Database/Adapter/Mongo.php around lines 2345 - 2349:
Replace the preliminary null-matching update in the counter update flow with a
single atomic update that treats only a missing or null field as zero and
rejects array values, including arrays containing null. Preserve the existing
increment behavior for numeric fields.
