MongoDB Support

Overview

Currently SP (Speedle+) project supports two kinds of policy store OOTB, i.e. file based policy store for demo/dev environment and etcd based policy store. Both of them are simple and fast. But they make things a little hard to support advanced policy management functions, for example, query out all policies based a certain criteria. Some users also asked for database support. So let's do it now. MongoDB support will be added to SP project soon.
