fix(query-core): ignore `undefined` properties in partial-match filter keys so that `partialMatchKey` is consistent with the default `hashKey`, which drops them. Keys like `['todos', { status: undefined }]` now partially match queries with a concrete value for that property, e.g. `['todos', { status: 'open' }]`

Resolve the undefined filter contract before merge.

continue makes { status: undefined } equivalent to an empty filter object. With the same query-key prefix, partialMatchKey(['todos', { assignee: 'a' }], ['todos', { status: undefined }]) returns true. invalidateQueries therefore invalidates both cached queries, but packages/query-core/src/__tests__/queryClient.test.tsx Line 2572 expects the assignee query to remain valid and will fail.

If undefined is an ignored filter field, update that test and its description to expect both queries. If the requirement is to exclude { assignee: 'a' }, this skip rule is too broad and needs a different matching contract.

intended undefined-field matching contract in the partial-match logic around the
b[key] check: either preserve undefined as an ignored filter field and update
the invalidateQueries test and description to expect both queries, or change the
matching behavior so { status: undefined } does not match { assignee: 'a' }.
Ensure the implementation and queryClient test agree on the selected contract.
