Copy Database

[ryneeverett]

While it would be nice to keep the dump/load functionality around as an optional feature, I'd imagine copying the database would be more performant and less error prone for general use. There has got to be some way to do a db.copyDatabase() in Meteor.

db is exposed in 1.0.4+ via the Collection.rawDatabase method. https://www.meteor.com/blog/2015/03/17/meteor-104-mongo-cordova-template-subscriptions#!

Make database copying the default behavior. Use dumping/loading for backup purposes and take an environmental variable path. Suggest setting this to a separate repository (or submodule) so you can track fixtures without clogging up the app repo.

Unfortunately the copyDatabase method is not available on db when instantiated with Collection.rawDatabase().

Attempt in copyDatabase branch.
