Proposition to add a method Collection::create(array $option) as a helper for Database::createCollection() for consistency with Collection::drop(array $options)

Usage:

// Existing methods
$db->createCollection('items', ['capped' => true, 'size' => 8192]);
$db->dropCollection('items');
$db->items->drop();

// New method
$db->items->create(['capped' => true, 'size' => 8192]);

Historically, collections are created from the parent database object. The driver API is based on the MongoDB shell, which only has a db.createCollection() method. The drop() methods are a different case, since the shell provides drop methods on both databases and collections (instead of requiring you to call client.dropDatabase or database.dropCollection). There's no technical reason we can't duplicate a create helper on the collection object.
