**What** There is actually an issue with using the `fields` query params with the way the repositories are using our custom query strategy. This pr aims to fix this issue by reworking the strategy. What we had to do was to rework the way the selects are built for each subquery in order to follow the aliasing convention and to be taken into consideration. Alongside these changes, the join used to always select everything, this needed to be changed so that if there are any selects provided for a join, the join should not select everything and let the query select the fields that are requested. Another notable change is that all the repositories are now using the repository util in order to centralize the customization and to have a single place to update when this kind of issue arises. This means that the eager relations when using the query builder are not necessarily taken into account. For that reason, I have removed the `shipping_option` eager option in favor of explicitly asking for the relations like we started to do it in some places. FIXES CORE-1413

Additional Information
Orders
When an order is created in Medusa it will automatically be sent to Brightpearl and allocated there. Once allocated it is up to Brightpearl to figure out how the order is to be fulfilled - the plugin listens for goods out notes and tries to map each of these to a Medusa order, if the matching succeeds Medusa will send the order to the fulfillment provider associated with the shipping method selected by the Customer.
When line items on an order are returned the plugin will generate a sales credit in Brightpearl.
Products
The plugin doesn't automatically create products in Medusa, but listens for inventory changes in Brightpearl. The plugin updates each product variant to reflect the inventory quantity listed in Brightpearl, thereby ensuring that the inventory levels in Medusa are always in sync with Brightpearl.
OAuth
The plugin registers an OAuth app in Medusa allowing installation at https://medusa-commerce.com/a/settings/apps. The OAuth tokens are refreshed every hour to prevent unauthorized requests.
