Cannot define SSL connection options for MongoDB in environment variables

[PRo25]

Issue type:

[ ] question
[X] bug report
[ ] feature request
[ ] documentation issue

Database system/driver:

[ ] cordova
[X] mongodb
[ ] mssql
[ ] mysql / mariadb
[ ] oracle
[ ] postgres
[ ] sqlite
[ ] sqljs
[ ] websql

TypeORM version:

[ ] latest
[ ] @next
[X] 0.1.11

Steps to reproduce or a small repository showing the problem:

It isn't possible to configure a connection to a MongoDB server that uses SSL by using the environment variables. I tried, without success, to use the variable "TYPEORM_DRIVER_EXTRA" by defining it in the ".env" file like this: "TYPEORM_DRIVER_EXTRA={ "ssl": true, "sslValidate": false }". But after checking the MongoDB driver code (https://github.com/typeorm/typeorm/blob/master/src/driver/mongodb/MongoDriver.ts) I noticed it doesn't use the extra property of the options object for anything so it's normal that it doesn't work.
If I configure the connection options with SSL directly in the code then it works fine.

I'm using postgres, but I believe my pr should fix this? #3409 at least for setting it to true. ah guess I'm wrong, didnt know about the DRIVER_EXTRA variable. good luck solving this
