Provide a mechanism for specifying default database name in connection string

According to https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/GODRIVER-914 the connection string is only meant to specify the auth database. However, many of the official MongoDB drivers and tools also use the database specified in the connection string as the default if commands are run without specifying a database name. The Go driver should either mirror this behaviour found in other drivers, or a parameter should be added to the connection string to allow a default database to be explicitly defined.
