Add JSON-like syntax to construct BSON object

XMLWordPrintableJSON

      Today in mongo-cxx-driver, there are several ways of constructing a BSON object
      http://mongodb.github.io/mongo-cxx-driver/mongocxx-v3/working-with-bson/

      None of them provides a JSON-like way despite the fact it exists generally to construct JSON documents
      https://github.com/nlohmann/json

      I propose to use a similar construction to build BSON documents. Then, we will be able to write:

      document friends {{"friend",{{"_id", json::id{}},
                                             {"name","jean"},
                                             {"dob",1970}}}};

      instead of

      bsoncxx::document::value = document{} << "friends" << open_document 
                                                                                    << "_id" << bsoncxx::oid() 
                                                                                    << "name" << "jean"
                                                                                    << " dob" << 1970
                                                                                    << close_document
                                                                                    << finalize;

      I started the development of it
