Show how to view data for Document DB #15

My experience has been that devs (and I'm no different :)) want to see their data once it's persisted, especially when persisting to the cloud...it's part of believing that everything is working as expected. Once the walk through has the user deploy their app and save data to Document DB, consider showing how to view the data that is actually persisted. I know through the portal you can query for the data. Even better would be if the Azure CLI supported querying for data (similar to Mongo DB's cmd line shell).

This is a great point, and I can actually use it to highlight how existing MongoDB tools can be used to explore the data in DocDB. I'll show off running the mongo CLI from within VS Cose to query data, and I'll also call out that you could use any other MongoDB tool (e.g. MongoChef)
