      Description

      4GL: Implement $fieldinfo(FLD,"syntax")

      As a 4GL developer I need to access to the declarative values of field syntax,
      specifically NED, so I can use this information to write my own Proc without
      the need to duplicate the information first in e.g. #defines.

      Details

      Enhance Proc function $fieldinfo, so it also returns the declarative field
      syntax values, specifically whether a field is NED.

      Proc function $fieldinfo(FLD, "syntax") returns the value as it is defined in
      the repository
      The returned value is not affected by the Proc instructions fieldsyntax,
      field_syntax, nor $fieldsyntax()
      The function returns characteristics of the field, not necessarily the literal
      entered string in the repository
