[Server] WiredTiger allows capped collection objects to grow

      In MMAP items in a capped collection cannot grow - as per the documentation and an error is raised if they do.

      > db.createCollection("cap",{capped:true,size:128000})
      { "ok" : 1 }
      >  db.cap.update({_id:1},{$set:{test:"hello",vals:["one"]}},true,true)
      WriteResult({ "nMatched" : 0, "nUpserted" : 1, "nModified" : 0, "_id" : 1 })
      >  db.cap.update({_id:1},{$set:{test:"hello"},$push:{vals:"two"}},true,true)
      WriteResult({
      	"nMatched" : 0,
      	"nUpserted" : 0,
      	"nModified" : 0,
      	"writeError" : {
      		"code" : 10003,
      		"errmsg" : "failing update: objects in a capped ns cannot grow"
      	}
      })
      

      In WiredTiger they are allowed to grow - is this deliberate?

      > db.createCollection("cap",{capped:true,size:128000})
      { "ok" : 1 }
      > db.cap.update({_id:1},{$set:{test:"hello",vals:["one"]}},true,true)
      WriteResult({ "nMatched" : 0, "nUpserted" : 1, "nModified" : 0, "_id" : 1 })
      > db.cap.findOne()
      { "_id" : 1, "test" : "hello", "vals" : [ "one" ] }
      > db.cap.update({_id:1},{$set:{test:"hello"},$push:{vals:"two"}},true,true)
      WriteResult({ "nMatched" : 1, "nUpserted" : 0, "nModified" : 1 })
      > db.cap.findOne()
      { "_id" : 1, "test" : "hello", "vals" : [ "one", "two" ] }
