DATAMONGO-1311 - Polishing.

Update Javadoc and add reference documentation.
Alter @Meta batchSize default to zero, as negative values bear a special meaning.
Along the lines remove deprecated driver method usage and add deprecations for options about the be removed in subsequent MongoDB server releases.

+=== Additional Query Options
+
+MongoDB offers various ways of applying meta information, like a comment or a batch size, to a query. Using the `Query` API
+directly there are several methods for those options.
+
+====
+[source,java]
+----
+Query query = query(where("firstname").is("luke"))
+    .comment("find luke")         <1>
+    .batchSize(100)                                 <2>
+    .slaveOk();                                     <3>
+----
+<1> The comment propagated to the MongoDB profile log.
+<2> The number of documents to return in each response batch.
+<3> Allows querying a replica slave.
+====
+
+On the repository level the `@Meta` annotation provides means to add query options in a declarative way.
+
+====
+[source,java]
+----
+@Meta(comment = "find luke", batchSize = 100, flags = { SLAVE_OK })
+List<Person> findByFirstname(String firstname);
