Deferred query EstimatedDocumentCount helper incorrect with filter

      The tools-common type db.DeferredQuery has a method EstimatedDocumentCount, but estimated counts are only possible on full collections, not on queries with filters.

      As currently written, it will ignore the filter and return a full collection count, which is wrong.

      I suggest the following changes:

      • Run EstimatedDocumentCount on the underlying collection if the filter is nil or an empty BSON document
      • Run CountDocuments on the underlying collection otherwise
      • Consider renaming db.DeferredQuery.EstimatedDocumentCount to db.DeferredQuery.Count.
