Create a dummy ObjectId instance with a specific generation time.

        This method is useful for doing range queries on a field
        containing :class:`ObjectId` instances.

        .. warning::
           It is not safe to insert a document containing an ObjectId
           generated using this method. This method deliberately
           eliminates the uniqueness guarantee that ObjectIds
           generally provide. ObjectIds generated with this method
           should be used exclusively in queries.

        `generation_time` will be converted to UTC. Naive datetime
        instances will be treated as though they already contain UTC.

        An example using this helper to get documents where ``"_id"``
        was generated before January 1, 2010 would be:

        >>> gen_time = datetime.datetime(2010, 1, 1)
        >>> dummy_id = ObjectId.from_datetime(gen_time)
        >>> result = collection.find({"_id": {"$lt": dummy_id}})

        :Parameters:
          - `generation_time`: :class:`~datetime.datetime` to be used
            as the generation time for the resulting ObjectId.
