      Currently, the IDL parser for ShardCollectionType doesn't specify {strict:false}, which means it explicitly performs strict parsing. This makes it impossible to add new fields to that structure.

      As part of this ticket we should do the following:

      • Add {strict:false}
      • Add an FCV 5.0 -> 4.4 downgrade step on the shards, which clears any newly added fields (e.g., SERVER-50027) from config.cache.collections so that 4.4 binaries can parse them.
