Upgrade feathers-permissions to be compatible with Feathers v5 (Dove)

[noahsal]

Steps to reproduce

feathers-permissions currently uses Feathers 4.5.15. This library is not compatible with the latest Feathers v5 hook types. Specifically, the return type of checkPermissions (Hook) is not compatible with the new HookFunction type - Argument of type 'Hook' is not assignable to parameter of type 'HookFunction<A, S>.

The common solution seems to be to cast the checkPermissions hook to any (or some other matching type), which isn't ideal.

I just noticed that this duplicates the in-progress PR #125. However, that PR updates to a pre-release version instead of the now released latest version (and hasn't been touched in a while).

Going to leave this open for now, since the issue is still ongoing and doesn't seem to be actively in progress. Feel free to close if this duplicate violates issue guidelines.
