mongoc_cmd_parts_assemble() may add readConcern afterClusterTime to generic commands

      While running something similar to test #2 in the Driver Sessions spec, I received a server error ("afterClusterTime is not allowed for this command") on the second of two ping commands sent with the same explicit client session. This was using the generic mongoc_client_command_with_opts() command runner with the "sessionId" option.

      According to the Causal Consistency spec:

      The Read and Write Concern Specification states that drivers MUST NOT add a readConcern field to commands that are run using a generic runCommand method. The same is true for causal consistency, so commands that are run using runCommand MUST NOT have an afterClusterTime field added to them.

      Looking at mongoc_cmd_parts_assemble(), I believe that we're entering this condition. libmongoc is only checking that the command is not a getMore before deciding to add a read concern with afterClusterTime. I think it may need to track whether the command supports a read concern (similar to is_write_command on mongoc_cmd_parts_t).
