Allow use of MongoDB 2.28
If a project references MongoDB in version 2.28 then openiddict insists on sticking to version 2.20 which results in an unsolvable nuget conflict.
Minimal example to reproduce the issue is here: https://github.com/SimonBartha/OpenIddictNugetExample
Thanks for your PR.

Actually, it doesn't (the dependency is not range-constrained by OpenIddict, that only requires 2.20 as the "minimal" package version). The problem is that MongoDB decided to start strong naming their assemblies and introduced that change in a minor version (even if it was a breaking change since it changes the identity of an assembly). That unwise decision is obviously causing a lot of pain in the ecosystem: https://www.mongodb.com/community/forums/t/net-c-driver-strong-naming/291649
Updating OpenIddict to target MongoDB 2.28 is certainly an option, but it's also a breaking change for OpenIddict users that use libraries built using the non-strong-named MongoDB assemblies so it's not clear whether doing that in OpenIddict 6.0 (shipping in December) is the right thing to do.
Thank you for the quick reply and the explanation. I tried everything and didnt think of strong naming. Would it be possible to include the bump to 2.28 in a pre release of 6.0. This is our last blocker in updating to .net8.

I considered multiple options but wasn't very happy with any of them 😄
We'll directly move to MongoDB 3.0 (that was just released)... it's likely the least terrible option: https://github.com/openiddict/openiddict-core/pull/2206.
