Deprecate Datastore.getCollection()

[evanchooly]

This method will be removed in 2.0 and replaced with an updated version using more modern driver types.

Also marking up all the related methods. All of them will return new types in 2.0.

So there's no alternative for the getCollection method at this time? I'm currently using it for stuff like this:
DBCollection dBCollection = dataStore.getCollection(RuleEntity.class);
BasicDBObject query = new BasicDBObject();
query.put(AGENTS, new BasicDBObject(NOT_EQUALS, EMPTY));
agents = dBCollection.distinct(AGENTS, query);

It still exists in 2.0. It's just that the return type is changing as noted in the javadoc. The deprecation is there to get your attention so you know it's coming. In 2.0 it returns a MongoCollection rather than a DBCollection.
