[racket] internal represent of array are incompatible between library json and bson (mongodb.plt)

In the mongodb package, an array is not represented by a vector. An
array is any sequence of bson values. The decoder will only produce
vectors, but the encoder will accept any sequence. I think a vector is
clearly superior since it corresponds more to the fixed-sized, indexed
array described by the BSON format.
