[development] Hooking views_data_alter

[jeff at ayendesigns.com]

Soooo frustrated! The only portions of the array for this field (a 
generic field added to a content type) that have handlers are for filter 
and argument ,not field, aside from the entity_id section, which I've 
tried already. I tried $data[field_data_field_test][field_test_value] 
section, because it seemed a logical place, and tried using 
[field][handler] within it, thinking that it would get created, but no.  
I have found a handful of modules that use the hook, and handful of 
blogs online, but every one seems to be for a different situation than 
simply wanting to override the field (not filter or argument) handler 
for a content type field.
