bug: FirstOrCreate's does not return Assign result into struct

[allen-moonshot]

Explain your user case and expected results

with a valid record at age 19, i would expect adding 1 to return 20 into the resultant struct with

DB.Where("name = ?", "jinzhu").Assign("age", gorm.Expr("age + ?", 1)).FirstOrCreate(&update20)

unfortunately this does not happen compared to if I used an absolute value .Assign("age", 20)

thus the gorm.Expr breaks the handlng

luckily you can throw a returning clause to restore expected behaviour

DB.Clauses(clause.Returning{}).Where("name = ?", "jinzhu").Assign("age", gorm.Expr("age + ?", 5)).FirstOrCreate(&update2)

this should be fixed; documentation can solve the issue as a stop gap
