      # Check the existence of a file matching the given query selector.
      #
      # Note that this method can be used with both the Grid and GridFileSystem classes. Also
      # keep in mind that if you're going to be performing lots of existence checks, you should
      # keep an instance of Grid or GridFileSystem handy rather than instantiating for each existence
      # check. Alternatively, simply keep a reference to the proper files collection and query that
      # as needed. That's exactly how this methods works.
      #
      # @param [Hash] selector a query selector.
      #
      # @example
      #
      #   # Check for the existence of a given filename
      #   @grid = GridFileSystem.new(@db)
      #   @grid.exist?(:filename => 'foo.txt')
      #
      #   # Check for existence filename and content type
      #   @grid = GridFileSystem.new(@db)
      #   @grid.exist?(:filename => 'foo.txt', :content_type => 'image/jpg')
      #
      #   # Check for existence by _id
      #   @grid = Grid.new(@db)
      #   @grid.exist?(:_id => BSON::ObjectID.from_string('4bddcd24beffd95a7db9b8c8'))
      #
      #   # Check for existence by an arbitrary attribute.
      #   @grid = Grid.new(@db)
      #   @grid.exist?(:tags => {'$in' => ['nature', 'zen', 'photography']})
      #
      # @return [nil, Hash] either nil for the file's metadata as a hash.
