Collection methods that expect document keys should not accept IDs

[neumann-d]

When checking if a document exists in a collection, I use the function documentCollection.documentExists. For example:

const cities = db.collection("City")
const city_exists = await cities.documentExists("Country/1234")
console.log("city_exists = ", city_exists)

But instead of looking only in the specific "City" collection, it finds documents from other collections (like "Country") too.

ArangoJS version: 6.10.0

This was originally intentional but I agree that it's confusing. This also affects other methods that accept IDs instead of keys. I think the most straightforward way would be to remove this special handling so these methods only take keys and provide db.document and db.documentExists as variants that only take IDs. This would be a breaking change.

This will be addressed in the upcoming major release.
