libbson JSON parser interprets $type as legacy binary

      The Extended JSON spec says:

      A parser that accepts Legacy Extended JSON MUST be configurable such that a JSON text of a MongoDB query filter containing the type query operator can be parsed, e.g.:

      { "zipCode" : { $type : 2 } }
      or:

      { "zipCode" : { $type : "string" } }

      But libbson returns an error when parsing a $type in any of the JSON parsing functions:

      • bson_json_reader_read
      • bson_init_from_json
      • bson_new_from_json

      Though it does accept the legacy binary format, e.g.

      { "$binary": "AQIDBAU=", "$type": "80" }
      

      I see no way to configure parsing to interpret $type as just a normal key (not a legacy binary type).
