Description

Example of usage:

users = await User.filter(first_name__ilike="c%r")

I know this can be done with startswith and endswith, but there are cases where using the LIKE operator is better:

users = await User.filter(first_name__ilike="j_r%")

This would be used to match Jeremy, Jorge, Jordan...

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine existing filter operators (e.g., startswith) in the codebase, then implement like and ilike following the same pattern.
