DATAMONGO-2208 - Deprecate Kotlin extensions providing a KClass overload.

We promote the usage of reified Kotlin API usage (myMethod<Person>() instead of myMethod(Person::class)) to facilitate a single and more idiomatic approach to Kotlin API usage.

Extension methods accepting KClass are deprecated now.

Original Pull Request: #648
