Title: Promote mongodb cookbook into a first class cookbook repo

It seems the broader cookbook has a consensus on single cookbook repos. With a fully self contained cookbook repo, we gain many options for modular reuse: librarian, knife-github-cookbooks, and git submodules. Opscode has broken up their repo this way also.

If we reorganize this way, we can also reuse the lovely "Installation" section from the popular https://github.com/fnichol/chef-rbenv cookbook.

I understand that this change imposes a burden on outstanding patches and pull requests. It's probably easiest to resolve those before applying this change. Especially in light of the new maintainers (see #31), I'm happy to wait a bit and rebase after the dust is settled.
