fix: discriminator-based resolution

[kol-93]

Description

Fixed:

• type discriminator property deleted from source object after plainToInstance/instanceToPlain
• cannot read property name of undefined/cannot read property constructor of null when trying to transform non-object (like null) to @Type() with discriminator
• non-exposed type discriminator property when using instanceToPlain with @Exclude()

Added all functional tests for:

• Classes with @Exclude()/@Expose()
• Classes without @Exclude()/@Expose()
