List of mandatory subfields

BZ30733 added many mandatory subfields in UNIMARC default framework, following
the IFLA manual updates. 
Thing is, most of those mandatory subfields are within an optional field, so
they're supposed to be mandatory only if the field is used. Yet Koha blocks the
record's creation with ~60 mandatory subfields.

Most practical solution would probably be to remove the mandatory flag to said
subfields (the list is attached to the bug). 

Exception are 100$a and 200$a (the fields being mandatory too it makes sense)
Also have a doubt concerning 099$t and 942$c, that are not actually Unimarc,
but Koha specifics, storing biblioitems.itemtype.
