Running `paster setup-app` command with mongo 3.4 gives:
```

raise OperationFailure(msg % errmsg, code, response)
OperationFailure: command SON([('createIndexes', u'basestats'), ('indexes',
[{'sparse': False, 'unique': True, 'name': u'_id_1', 'key': SON([('_id',
1)])}])]) on namespace allura.$cmd failed: The field 'sparse' is not valid for
an _id index specification. Specification: { ns: "allura.basestats", v: 1,
sparse: false, unique: true, name: "_id_1", key: { _id: 1 } }
```
https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/release-notes/3.4-compatibility/#stricter-validation-of-index-specifications
doesn't specifically mention sparse `_id`, but looks like that is the change
that is causing this.
So I guess we need to omit `sparse: False` on `_id` fields, or any time it's
false.
