feat: add global option for updatePipeline

@@ -85,6 +85,19 @@ Set `updatePipeline: true` to enable update pipelines.

 ```
 
+You can also set `updatePipeline` globally to enable update pipelines for all update operations by default.
+
+```javascript
+// Enable update pipelines globally
+mongoose.set('updatePipeline', true);
+
+// Now update pipelines work without needing to specify the option on each query
+await Model.updateOne({}, [{ $set: { newProp: 'test2' } }]);

+await Model.updateOne({}, [{ $set: { newProp: 'test2' } }], { updatePipeline: false }); // throws

 ## Removed background option for indexes
 
 [MongoDB no longer supports the `background` option for indexes as of MongoDB 4.2](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/core/index-creation/#index-operations). Mongoose 9 will no longer set the background option by default and Mongoose 9 no longer supports setting the `background` option on `Schema.prototype.index()`.

@@ -230,18 +230,19 @@ Mongoose.prototype.setDriver = function setDriver(driver) {
  * - `cloneSchemas`: `false` by default. Set to `true` to `clone()` all schemas before compiling into a model.
  * - `debug`: If `true`, prints the operations mongoose sends to MongoDB to the console. If a writable stream is passed, it will log to that stream, without colorization. If a callback function is passed, it will receive the collection name, the method name, then all arguments passed to the method. For example, if you wanted to replicate the default logging, you could output from the callback `Mongoose: ${collectionName}.${methodName}(${methodArgs.join(', ')})`.
  * - `id`: If `true`, adds a `id` virtual to all schemas unless overwritten on a per-schema basis.
- * - `timestamps.createdAt.immutable`: `true` by default. If `false`, it will change the `createdAt` field to be [`immutable: false`](https://mongoosejs.com/docs/api/schematype.html#SchemaType.prototype.immutable) which means you can update the `createdAt`
  * - `maxTimeMS`: If set, attaches [maxTimeMS](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/operator/meta/maxTimeMS/) to every query
  * - `objectIdGetter`: `true` by default. Mongoose adds a getter to MongoDB ObjectId's called `_id` that returns `this` for convenience with populate. Set this to false to remove the getter.
  * - `overwriteModels`: Set to `true` to default to overwriting models with the same name when calling `mongoose.model()`, as opposed to throwing an `OverwriteModelError`.
  * - `returnOriginal`: If `false`, changes the default `returnOriginal` option to `findOneAndUpdate()`, `findByIdAndUpdate`, and `findOneAndReplace()` to false. This is equivalent to setting the `new` option to `true` for `findOneAndX()` calls by default. Read our [`findOneAndUpdate()` tutorial](https://mongoosejs.com/docs/tutorials/findoneandupdate.html) for more information.
  * - `runValidators`: `false` by default. Set to true to enable [update validators](https://mongoosejs.com/docs/validation.html#update-validators) for all validators by default.
  * - `sanitizeFilter`: `false` by default. Set to true to enable the [sanitization of the query filters](https://mongoosejs.com/docs/api/mongoose.html#Mongoose.prototype.sanitizeFilter()) against query selector injection attacks by wrapping any nested objects that have a property whose name starts with `$` in a `$eq`.
  * - `selectPopulatedPaths`: `true` by default. Set to false to opt out of Mongoose adding all fields that you `populate()` to your `select()`. The schema-level option `selectPopulatedPaths` overwrites this one.
- * - `strict`: `true` by default, may be `false`, `true`, or `'throw'`. Sets the default strict mode for schemas.
  * - `strictQuery`: `false` by default. May be `false`, `true`, or `'throw'`. Sets the default [strictQuery](https://mongoosejs.com/docs/guide.html#strictQuery) mode for schemas.
+ * - `strict`: `true` by default, may be `false`, `true`, or `'throw'`. Sets the default strict mode for schemas.
+ * - `timestamps.createdAt.immutable`: `true` by default. If `false`, it will change the `createdAt` field to be [`immutable: false`](https://mongoosejs.com/docs/api/schematype.html#SchemaType.prototype.immutable) which means you can update the `createdAt`
  * - `toJSON`: `{ transform: true, flattenDecimals: true }` by default. Overwrites default objects to [`toJSON()`](https://mongoosejs.com/docs/api/document.html#Document.prototype.toJSON()), for determining how Mongoose documents get serialized by `JSON.stringify()`
  * - `toObject`: `{ transform: true, flattenDecimals: true }` by default. Overwrites default objects to [`toObject()`](https://mongoosejs.com/docs/api/document.html#Document.prototype.toObject())
+ * - `updatePipeline`: `false` by default. If `true`, allows passing update pipelines (arrays) to update operations by default without explicitly setting `updatePipeline: true` in each query.
  *
  * @param {String|Object} key The name of the option or a object of multiple key-value pairs
  * @param {String|Function|Boolean} value The value of the option, unused if "key" is a object
