During compilation of cachedb_mongodb module, numerous deprecation
warnings appear on systems with mongo-c-driver >= 1.29.0:

```
The MongoDB C driver (libbson) deprecated bson_as_json() in version
1.29.0 (October 2024) in favor of bson_as_legacy_extended_json() to
clarify which JSON format is being produced (legacy vs. canonical
extended JSON).
We added compatibility macro at the top of cachedb_mongodb_dbase.c - for
mongo-c-driver < 1.29.0, define bson_as_legacy_extended_json as an alias
to bson_as_json, allowing the code to use the new API name while
maintaining backward compatibility.
This change maintains compatibility with all mongo-c-driver versions.
The new function name is used on >= 1.29.0, while older versions
transparently use the original bson_as_json() through the macro alias.
No behavioral changes - the replacement is functionally identical and
produces the same JSON output format. The new name simply makes it
explicit that the legacy extended JSON format is being used.
Note: mongo-c-driver 1.29.0 was released in October 2024. Many LTS
distributions still ship earlier versions (e.g., RHEL 8/9, Ubuntu
20.04/22.04, Debian 11/12), making the compatibility macro necessary.

The fix is solid, @lemenkov, as it maintains backwards-compatibility and avoids the warnings on newer systems while still driving the code forward to use the new driver API. I will backport it down to |

Summary
Fix libbson deprecated API warning with version compatibility
Details
This PR fixes deprecation warnings that appear when compiling the cachedb_mongodb module with mongo-c-driver >= 1.29.0. The
bson_as_json()function was deprecated in favor ofbson_as_legacy_extended_json()in mongo-c-driver version 1.29.0 (released October 2024).The warning appears during compilation:
The deprecation was introduced to clarify which JSON format is being produced - legacy extended JSON vs. canonical extended JSON. The function signatures are identical, making this a straightforward API update.
However, many LTS distributions still ship older versions of mongo-c-driver (< 1.29.0), so the code needs to maintain backward compatibility with both the old and new API.
Solution
Add a compatibility macro at the top of
modules/cachedb_mongodb/cachedb_mongodb_dbase.cthat maps the new function name to the old one on older versions:Then update all
bson_as_json()calls tobson_as_legacy_extended_json()throughout the file.This approach:
Compatibility
Fully backward compatible. The macro ensures the code works with:
bson_as_legacy_extended_json()APIbson_as_json()via macroNo runtime behavior changes - the same JSON is produced on all versions.
