Would be useful to pass similar options as pouchdb-replication-stream #2

I would like to pass in a list of doc_ids, but I expect filter, views etc would be useful too. Should be easy since it is using pouchdb-replication-stream but I haven't figure it out yet from reading the code.

That would be great. Maybe they can just be options on the CLI? It's kind of award to pass in JSON on the command-line, though.

I will need it to script a deployment step, so at least for me, it would be fine to pass in the path of a json file.

Reading from a file kinda feels icky to me. How about

pouchdb-dump --replicator-opts '{"filter": "whatever"}'

?

On second thought, I think this might be too hairy for a simple CLI tool like pouchdb-dump. See https://github.com/nolanlawson/pouchdb-dump-cli/issues/11#issuecomment-133907955 for some suggestions on how you can filter using existing tools.
