Automatically pre-call `mongod --dbpath <path>` for connections to localhost.
On Windows, whenever we connect to a localhost mongo, we need to call mongod --dbpath <db path>
in a Command Prompt or Powershell prompt before clicking the "Connect" button in Compass.
So Compass should offer the ability to automatically "pre-call" that and then perform the connection (if call was successful).
