Description

Hi,

I'm using Confluent [cp-all-in-one with docker](https://docs.confluent.io/current/quickstart/cos-docker-quickstart.html) (v5.4.1), and I'm confused on how to use ARRAYCONTAINS (or another feature) for Arrays of Structs.
Regarding the example below, is there a way, currently supported by Confluent in KSQL, to create a STREAM that filters on records that have at least one friend with "first_name" = "John" ?

Example of record (the array "myNiceArrayOfFriends has 2 entries with "first_name" = "John" :

```
"myFirstField": (...),
"myNiceArrayOfFriends": [
{
"id": "0",
"name": {
"first_name": "John",
"last_name": "Doe"
}
},
{
"id": "1",
"name": {
"first_name": "Jane",
"last_name": "Doe"
}
},
{
"id": "2",
"name": {
"first_name": "John",
"last_name": "Lennon"
}
}
],
"someOtherField": (...)
```

Research direction

Start by checking the documented ARRAYCONTAINS behavior and KSQL query support for arrays of structs, using the example record in the issue as the reproduction case. Determine whether filtering on a nested first_name is supported; if not, identify the relevant query-language entry point and tests needed to define the feature and its expected result.
