[MB-4549] make CAPI CRUD return $flags and $expiration in replies [was: emitting a doc into the view brings $flags and $expiration]

As can be seen in comments we think we should always expose $flags and $expiration in json docs we expose either via CAPI CRUD or view map/reduce. So going to change CAPI CRUD code instead.

i noticed that if you query a view that emits the document, you get properties like $flag and $expiration, but if you query the http interface for the document url itself, it only shows _rev and _id, not any of the dollar sign magic variables. is there a reason behind that difference?
