Remove original language field on migrations

See original GitHub issue

Let’s say I have a model with a name field and I want that to be translatable to, say, en, nl, es. Currently when I run makemigrations, 3 new fields are created in the migration (name_en, name_nl, name_es). The name field is also preserved, however. Assuming my default language is English, It is redundant to have both name and name_en in the database. Trying to manually remove the name field in the migration is of course not a solution because future runs of makemigrations will trigger the recreation of a migration to add it back.
