PYTHON-5994 Use exact match for file ID in GridFS delete methods
Fix: upgrade to 4.18.1 or later
Impact
When reading/writing via an ID with the GridFS API, require an exact match on the given ID. Otherwise, if a Hash is given in place of the ID, it may be interpreted as criteria, overriding the ID match.
Patches
Patch available in pymongo >= 4.18.1
Workarounds
Ensure your existing workflow _only_ supports exact matching on the GridFS API.
