Add support to export multiple collections

I would like to be able to export multiple collections at the same time. It would be nice if Compass generates json files named with the collection name.

    +1. We move small/medium datasets between environments regularly, and doing it one collection at a time is painful.

    I've built this in Compass, behind a feature flag: select several collections of a database and export them to JSON or CSV (one file per collection, plus an optional metadata file with indexes and collection options), and import such a folder back — choosing what happens with collections that already exist. I'd like to contribute it upstream.
