When determining whether a node's oplog has sufficient history to correctly resume a stream, we first try to retrieve the initial result from the resumed stream. This is because the result may be enough for us to determine that the stream is resumable, without doing any additional work. If the result does not conclusively prove that the stream is resumable, either because it is EOF or chronologically after the resume point, then we must perform a separate, internal query on the oplog via _assertOplogHasEnoughHistory to determine whether its first entry is earlier than the resume point.

However, if there are no matching entries in the oplog and we supply a resume point that has already fallen off, our attempt to retrieve the first entry will scan through the entire oplog until it reaches EOF, only to then call _assertOplogHasEnoughHistory and throw an exception. If the oplog is large, then this pointless scan can be quite disruptive. We should instead unconditionally call _assertOplogHasEnoughHistory to check the oplog's history before attempting to pull the first result from the stream.
