DATAMONGO-1865 - Avoid IncorrectResultSizeDataAccessException for derived findFirst/findTop queries.

We now return the first result when executing findFirst/findTop queries. This fixes a glitch introduced in the Kay release throwing IncorrectResultSizeDataAccessException for single entity executions returning more than one result, which is explicitly not the desired behavior in this case.

Original pull request: #530.
