Description

### Feature hasn't been suggested before.

- [x] I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

### Describe the enhancement you want to request

I would like to be able to use query API for [subqueries](https://orm.drizzle.team/docs/select#select-from-subquery)

```ts
const sq = db.select().from(users).as('sq');
const result = await db.query.fromSub(sq).findMany({
where: {
id: 42
}
});
```

It seems that this should be possible.
The idea is simple: just to be able to use query `findMany`, `findFirst` APIs for arbitrary sub queries.

This also can be implemented as a helper function I think:
something like:
```ts
function findMany(args, subQuery) {
// obviously this would be much more complicated to handle different edge cases
return db.select().from(subQuery).where(eq(args.where.id, subQuery.id))
}
```

Would be nice to have it included in orm itself but also this could be implemented in user land using helper function and regular builder api
