Wrong deprecation error message printed when restoring from stdin

      When reading bson data from stdin without the --archive flag, mongorestore reads the data as if reading a single BSON file, therefore requiring the specification of a collection. However, it also prints a deprecation message saying that specifying a collection is deprecated and to use --nsInclude instead, an option that does not work when restoring single BSON files. This warning should be updated to only be printed when restoring from stdin with --archive.

      e.g.

      ~/mongo $ cat dump/test/caf%C3%A9s.bson | ./mongodb-4.2.0-rc2/bin/mongorestore
      -u kayadmin -p abc123 --authenticationDatabase=admin --db test --collection
      cafes -
      2019-07-08T14:28:52.937-0400	the --db and --collection args should only be used
      when restoring from a BSON file. Other uses are deprecated and will not exist in
      the future; use --nsInclude instead

      But, the following examples don't seem to work:
