Don't query entire collection on connection

In large collections, there is no need to immediately query the entire collection. Either change this to query only the first 20 entries by default, or stop querying one connection. This would improve the connection experience greatly.

    With Compass 1.30 we improved the experience by: * no longer loading all the db and collection stats when connecting * no longer waiting for the document count to load before displaying the first 20 documents and running the count operation asynchronously instead
