KV Store Collection API - dict Type Issue

[malvidin]

Describe the bug
The **query in KV Store Data API functions have an error in typing or in usage in the function.

splunk-sdk-python/splunklib/client.py

Line 3633 in 9f6b2e0

def query(self, **query):

splunk-sdk-python/splunklib/client.py

Line 3643 in 9f6b2e0

return json.loads(self._get('', **query).body.read().decode('utf-8'))

To Reproduce
Use the KVStoreCollectionData query with the dict type prescribed in the docstrings
collection.data.query(query={"id": {"$gt": 24}}) or collection.data.query({"id": {"$gt": 24}})

Expected behavior
The previous queries should succeed, as documented.

Hi @malvidin , Thanks for bringing it up.
We have considered your suggestion and added dictionary support for KVStore "query" methods. Also updated the KVStore example file for reference. Changes will be available in the next release.
