feature Support association path filters with automatic joins

[makraz]

• Implement association-aware JOIN creation for filters when using dotted relationship.property paths.
• Update Boolean, Null, Choice, Comparison, Array, and Entity filters to apply conditions on joined aliases while preserving behavior for non-association properties.
• Ensure collection-valued associations and NULL/NOT NULL comparisons handle joins consistently across filters.

Oh just saw this... do you know if that fixes #7298 by chance?
From looking at the code I'd say it probably has the same issue with embeds still but not sure

I think yes, I create a demo here: https://github.com/makraz/easyadmin-association-filter

ah I looked at the example, you'd need to configure the book to search on the author's address to test that bug.

Like ->setSearchFields(['author.address.street']); in the book controller
