If you're using custom authority types, automatic linking via
C4::Biblio::LinkBibHeadingsToAuthorities will never work.

It's because C4::Heading::MARC21 has a hard-coded mapping of bib fields to
authority types (instead of consulting the MARC bibliographic framework).

This means if you're using "CORPO_NAME_AWSEOME" instead of "CORPO_NAME" for
your authorities, you'll never get an automated match, since
C4::Heading::_search (used ultimately by C4::Linker::Default) uses the
hard-coded auth_type from C4::Heading::MARC21.
