Both mongo-3.1 and mongo-3.7 instrumentation have same latestDepTest

When looking at latestDepTest, I noticed that mongo-3.1 and mongo-3.7 both have the same latestDepTest version of +. This is unusual since it means that the old instrumentation works with the newer libraries. From what I can tell, mongo 3.7 instruments a new pattern for building a mongo client. Does it make sense to merge the instrumentation and just test both cases?

Changed to required-for-ga with priority p3, to consider it for GA, since it is proposing a change to which instrumentation modules we publish (and I agree the overlap between mongo-3.1 and mongo-3.7 is confusing)

couchbase seems to be similar - while latestDepTest isn't exactly the same (spring-data-couchbase version is a bit different, java-client version is same), it seems to have a similar pattern. In fact, 2.6 instrumentation doesn't seem to work without 2.0 instrumentation available which is even more strange and makes merging seem much better.

Closing, can revisit later if anyone has renewed interest.
