Where should we put original creation dates from datastreams? #1

When migrating datastreams, the date the content was originally created ought to be preserved somehow. The created attribute will be the date the resource was created in real time, but this would be the time when it was actually migrated. We need to retain the date when the resource was created back when it was in Fedora3.

We can't modify Fedora4's creation date, so you have to define another field as the original creation date for the resource.
