Title: Make $option key optional for using bson's json_util loads function

The $option key is expected but is only used to check for 'i' or for 'm'. I bumped into this, and thought that defining an $option key is perhaps a little overkill, especially if one isn't interested in the 'i' or 'm' options it supports.

This patch makes it optional.
