Cannot populate using a dynamic ref inside an array of embedded discriminators

- I have searched the existing issues
Current behavior
Dynamic ref functions do not appear to work in @nestjs/mongoose. The ref function appears to be resolved at the time the schema is created, instead of at runtime.
This has been reported in the past here: #1847
This makes resolving the type for an array of embedded discriminators difficult in deeply nested or dynamic data structures where refPath may not be suitable.
Minimum reproduction code

Steps to reproduce
See the proof of work section in the reproduction repository.
Expected behavior
The schema should not resolve a ref function's return at the time of its creation, but allow them to be run at runtime so the behaviour is the same as that of Mongoose.
The reproduction repository shows the difference of behaviour between this module and plain Mongoose and asserts this with integration tests for the two.
