Issue:
Changes from clear() on ListField are not saved
```python
class MyDoc(Document):
    things = ListField(StringField())
```

If I get hold of a document with some things and do
```python
doc.things.clear()
doc.save()
```
`things` will not be emptied. If I do
```python
doc.things = []
doc.save()
```
`things` is emptied.
