NTH: add regression test for nested object without @EnableFieldFilter to pin compatibility behavior.

MUST: document that nested field paths are only applied inside nested object types annotated with @EnableFieldFilter; otherwise selecting a nested field keeps the whole nested object.

MUST: fix Sonar issues.
