      DRIVERS-2374:
      $addFields and $set will no longer throw an error if you want to set a path to an empty object.
      For example the stage {$set: {a: {}}} would take an incoming document and set the 'a' field to an empty object.
      The behavior of $project behavior has not been changed and in order to get the same behavior a user would still have to wrap the object with $literal like this: {$project: {a: {$literal: {}}}}
