useField can incorrectly update document lock

[stofolus]

Describe the Bug

When using a useForm inside a custom field component you can have a the form-state request update the "updatedAt" field on a document locked by another user.

Reproduction Steps

Clone the repo or use the latest website template.

The changes to the template are in the Posts collection.

• The documentLoaded field
• Disable autosave
• Add document locking

versions: {
    drafts: true,
    maxPerDoc: 50,
  },

lockDocuments: {
    duration: 60,
  },

Create a couple of users.

Open and make a change to a page without saving. Then close the window. Now open the same page with another user and if you check the database you can se that with every page load the updatedAt field is updated. Even though it's tied to user1 and you are viewing the page as another user.

Now I know that you could fix this by checking if the field is readOnly before updating it. And it's absolutely resonable to do. But I still think that the form-state api should not update the locked-documents document if it's tied to another user. It's a good way to make it harder for people to accidentally create bugs
