Respond with error upon encountering unknown field names in writeConcern

    Description

      Currently unrecognized field names are silently ignored. Errorring can help protect against typos like

      {fync: true}

      and will correctly error if we add a new flag like journaledOnSlaves and it is sent to a server that doesn't support it.

      We may want to strictly validate all arguments to write commands for the same reason.
