Goal: Remove The BSON symbol type is deprecated; use String instead warnings so the suite runs clean on newer bson/mongo drivers.
Scope: At least one repro is core/test/lib/workarea/configuration/administrable/fieldset_test.rb using type: :symbol.
Verify: bundle exec ruby -Icore/test core/test/lib/workarea/configuration/administrable/fieldset_test.rb (no BSON symbol warnings)
