      Build a minimal viable implementation of causally consistent shell sessions that can be used for testing the causal consistency.
      Notes:

      • the user session is based on the DB session.
      • the property of causal consistent reads belongs to the session and can be explicitly turned on /off by a user
      • if the consistent reads are "on" the DB the session or db object keep track of the
        • clusterTime
        • operationTime
      • db object modifies the requests (i.e commands) by adding the $logicalTime and readConsern: afterClusterTime: <currentIOperationTime>
      • there is a mongo shell parameter that allows to make the causal consistency default on the start so it can be used for creating passthrough tests that run existing integration
      • mongo can be started with a port or connection string. In all cases it may be possible to implement the logic in the dbclient or dbclient_rs (investigate)
