API Documentation of `CreateUser`-Interface

## Values

This Interface inherits most values from the `CreateUserMongoDB` interface, which is a interface for the `createUser` command manually types, see [#663](https://github.com/typegoose/mongodb-memory-server/issues/663) for tracking on switching to native interface.

Because most values are inherited, only the new ones and important ones are described here.
