Enable missing_value to override default default_value for fields #551

Description

@mgduda

Following a discussion on 4 May 2020, there is interest in having the the default value for a field take on the specified missing_value if no explicit default_value is given in the registry entry for a field.

The motivation for this change is that fields that do contain missing values would otherwise need to be explicitly initialized by a core to the missing value; initializing a field to its registry-specified missing_value would remove this burden from the core developer.
