Please add support for real-time push

[robzhu]

RethinkDB 1.16 adds real-time features, as described here: http://rethinkdb.com/blog/1.16-release/

Specifically, appending .changes() to a query will cause updates to be pushed whenever that query's result would change. Any chance this functionality can be added to the driver?

The current unreleased version of the driver (in GitHub) does support the Changes command on a single target table. The current support was added in the commit 74331f3, where you can see it being used in a test program.

RethinkDB 1.16 looks like it adds support for a bunch of filter-based change monitoring, which sounds cool. It probably wouldn't be hard to update the support in rethinkdb-net by changing RethinkDb.QueryTerm to operate on an ISequenceQuery rather than an ITableQuery, updating the Query factory constructor, and then writing some updated tests. I won't be able to jump on this immediately, but, I'd happily review a pull request! :-)

Thanks Mathieu, I'm not familiar enough with the code-base yet to make such a change, but I'll start looking into it.

PR #199 added support for real-time push for most of the filters and operations supported by RethinkDB 1.16. There are a couple of filter cases that weren't added, that I've created individual issues for: #197, #198.
