fix: createCollection only uses listCollections in strict mode

Our `createCollection` helper attempts to be too helpful. It will
run a `listCollections` before attempting to send the `create`
command to the server, and if a collection with the same name is
present it will skip creating the collection and return a local
reference to the collection. This is dangerous because there is
no way to strictly verify that the remote collection has all the
same options a user is passing into the helper
