Add support for biblatex field aliases #521

@koppor

Description

@koppor

In the biblatex documentation at Section 2.2.5, "Field Aliases" are described.

  • address for location
  • annote for annotation (jurabib)
  • archiveprefix for eprinttype (arXiv)
  • journal for journaltitle
  • key for sortkey
  • pdf for file (JabRef compatibility ☀️)
  • primaryclass for eprintclass (arXiv)
  • school for institution

Issue: When switching from bibtex to biblatex mode, the field "journal" is written as optional field, even though it is a required field.

quick hack

In the serialization of JabRef, aliased fields should be treated like the original fields.

Issue with the quick hack: The aliased field is still treated as optional field or not treated at all. This seems to be inconsistent.
