Add new area type 'Field' - a collection of boulders #226

I think instead of adding new fields we should perhaps just make the existing structure more flexible. It seems clear to me that the fields and area types need some work but it's not clear what or how much etc.

eg at Ebor falls most of the cliffs are called 'Breakaway's' but are basically a cliff. A 'field' is functionally the same as a sector or an area. In beulah we 'think' in terms of 'areas' of bouldering not in terms of fields. But in other places I'd think of them as a field as they are grass with rocks and no trees.

So not really sure what the solution is but I think just being more flexibly, maybe allowing a name override, and allowing people to add whatever beta name they want makes sense. I remember having a conversation along these lines way back

Adding to the flexibility of the area type is a good idea. There are a couple of requirements for the area types

What's missing is a more flexible set of names.

added field field in dev. We can open up a further discussion on this when we implement tags.
