Description
MongoDB native driver v4.5.0 has marked existing APIs, of which `Topology` is utilised by this connector, as internal (PR: https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native/pull/2810, issue: https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/NODE-3245). It should be noted that these APIs have always intended to be internal, and that the added internal markings in v4.5.0 are a formality.
This connector references `Topology` APIs at these locations:
- https://github.com/loopbackio/loopback-connector-mongodb/blob/21a25fe8f42073c85784fe7e19f6272495a0fada/lib/mongodb.js#L527
- https://github.com/loopbackio/loopback-connector-mongodb/blob/21a25fe8f42073c85784fe7e19f6272495a0fada/lib/mongodb.js#L531
This issue is to track replacing references to these APIs.

Research direction
Start in lib/mongodb.js at the references around lines 527 and 531, then read the MongoDB native driver v4.5.0 internal-API context and the linked PR and issue. Replace the connector's references to the internal Topology APIs; the work is done when those references no longer remain.
