      With GODRIVER-494, new codecs were built for many of the base reflect.Kind types. These handle the base case of a non-pointer to those kinds, but there are circumstances in which a pointer to the kind should be handled. To enable this, the reflect.Kind codecs need to properly handle a pointer to the kind and the decode path needs to handle a pointer to a pointer to the kind.

      A nil pointer maps to a BSON Null and a BSON Null maps to a nil pointer, so this functionality should be added.

      Additionally, all of the BSON primitive type codecs should support pointers to their types.
