MongoDB has two restrictions on fields names, they cannot contain '.' and
start with '$'. In resource_metadata field we can get any data, so it could
be dict with any keys, and if some key contain i.e. dots sample with this
metadata wouldn't be stored in MongoDB.
To protect samples from missing this patch propose to check metadata
for occurrence of dots and '$' in keys if metadata is dict, and to transform
dict with dots before storing it in MongoDB. Transformation means that
we make dict more nested and new node appears where there is dot in dict
key.
It means that if we get metadata as a dict {'a.b.c': v} before storing in
MongoDB it would be transform in {'a': {'b': {'c': v}}}.
