Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We have a client that is looking at moving from Contactzilla to Nextcloud. One thing that is missing is the ability to create custom fields for contacts. This is something they used extensively on Contactzilla and would be nice to have on Nextcloud Contacts. Thanks.
Describe the solution you'd like
Right now you can add additional fields of a variety of types. I would like to be able to create a general text field and give it a custom name.

Research direction
Start by reviewing how existing additional contact fields are represented and edited in the Contacts app, including its CardDAV/vCard handling. Define the scope for named, user-created text fields and verify that they can be created, saved, displayed, edited, and preserved when contacts are synchronized.
