Improve support for working with fields via a "typed" field collection

Proposal for future improvement:

Today web/list fields can be read and returned as a collection of IField. This works fine for basic fields but for more complex fields (eg taxonomy fields) part of the field definition (e.g. term set id) lives inside the field’s SchemaXml property. What if there was a method AsTypedFields() on the current IFieldsCollection that would return the fields a collection of ITextField, IBoolField, ITaxonomyField …all inheriting from a common ITypedField. This way developers don’t have to parse the field xml themselves, they can just use a typed experience to work with the field properties.

These typed fields should also have the respective Update and Delete methods to allow for easy updating of the field.

Yeah, as you suggested, let’s start with the taxonomy field adjustment and will see if additional options or needs will popup.
