unknown top level operator: $populate

See original GitHub issue

Steps to reproduce

Create new application using feathers-cli
add feathers-mongoose
generate two mongoose models
add ref to another model, whitelist $populate in service

Expected behavior

It should return data with populate model

Actual behavior

It is throwing GeneralError with the above message

I think the issue is at service.js#101, where we are passing query object to mongoose with $populate. Omitting with _.omit(query, '$populate') is solving the problem.
