      libmongoc and libbson do not set an ABI version. On Linux, the installed soname is: "libbson-1.0.so.0".

      Set an ABI version to communicate expected stability.

      Document expectations for API and ABI stability in libmongoc and libbson.

      • What symbols in public headers are considered ABI stable?
      • Is use of two ABI incompatible versions of the library supported?
      • What should users do/not do to avoid upgrade issues? (e.g. build with pkg-config/CMake rather than direct flags).

      Consider using the C++ policy defined in CXX-2967 as a model.
