set_orig_field
Set a field which came from the datasource which is then split/transformed
into other fields. Here we save the original in case we need to look at it again
but it is not treated as a real field any more. Such fields are of only historical
interest in the processing in case we lose information during processing but need
to refer back.

Set/append to a derived field for a Biber::Entry object, that is, a field
which was not an actual bibliography field

otherwise if value is null, remove the field
