Description
It would greatly enhance parse-server's query capabilities if it would be possible to use column values for comparison in querys.
Right now we can only compare a column against a fixed value like so
query.greaterThan('movieRating', 5);
In a lot of use cases it would help to compare it against another column value like this
query.greaterThan('movieRating', 'anotherFieldInThisRow');

Research direction
Start at the query.greaterThan API and trace how fixed-value comparisons are translated for the supported databases. Determine the expected behavior for comparing two fields in the same row, including validation and database compatibility. Done means the API supports this comparison consistently and has coverage for the new query behavior.
