Description

This will make it cross-compatible across the Couch family (IBM CouchDB, Couchbase's Sync Gateway 1.5 & below, etc).

For example, if I were to use `_changes` API of Sync Gateway 1.5 (or below) I will not be able to use the `filter` param which is the equivalent of CouchDB's `selector`.

This feature will look like something like this:

```javascript
const db = nano.db.use('mydb')
db.changesReader.start({ filter: 'sync_gateway/bychannel', channels: 'channel1,channel2' })
```

Research direction

Start at the db.changesReader.start entry point and trace how options are handled for the CouchDB _changes API. Check the existing request behavior and tests, if present, then verify that arbitrary query parameters such as filter and channels reach the requested endpoint.
