DATAMONGO-2160 - Release version 2.2 M1 (Moore).

Rename NestedProperty to KPropertyPath to reflect the underlying concept in alignment with our own PropertyPath type. Rename nestedFieldName(…) method to asString(…) to align with Kotlin method terminology. Reformat.

Slightly reword documentation. Add Type-safe Queries for Kotlin to What's New section.

Original pull request: #622.

+### MongoDB 4.0 Transactions
+
+As of version 4 MongoDB supports [Transactions](https://www.mongodb.com/transactions). Transactions are built on top of
+ `ClientSessions` and therefore require an active session.
+
+`MongoTransactionManager` is the gateway to the well known Spring transaction support. It allows applications to use 
+[managed transaction features of Spring](http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/html/transaction.html).
+The `MongoTransactionManager` binds a `ClientSession` to the thread. `MongoTemplate` automatically detects those and operates on them accordingly.
+
+```java
+@Configuration
+static class Config extends AbstractMongoConfiguration {
+
+	@Bean
+	MongoTransactionManager transactionManager(MongoDbFactory dbFactory) {
+		return new MongoTransactionManager(dbFactory);
+	}
+
+	// ...
+}
+
+@Component
+public class StateService {
+
+	@Transactional
+	void someBusinessFunction(Step step) {
+
+		template.insert(step);
+
+		process(step);
+
+		template.update(Step.class).apply(Update.set("state", // ...
+	};
+});
+```

+ * {@link ReactiveMapReduceOperation} allows creation and execution of MongoDB mapReduce operations in a fluent API
+ * style. The starting {@literal domainType} is used for mapping an optional {@link Query} provided via {@code matching}
+ * into the MongoDB specific representation. By default, the originating {@literal domainType} is also used for mapping
+ * back the results from the {@link org.bson.Document}. However, it is possible to define an different
+ * {@literal returnType} via {@code as} to mapping the result.<br />
+ * The collection to operate on is by default derived from the initial {@literal domainType} and can be defined there
+ * via {@link org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.mapping.Document}. Using {@code inCollection} allows to override the
+ * collection name for the execution.
+ * 
+ * <pre>
