[Evergreen-catalogers] Normalizing name browse entries

[Jane Sandberg]

Hi all,

We recently upgraded to 3.1.2, and I'm seeing something new in the
name browse.  For example, this is what happens when you search for
Justin Bieber in the Author Browse:

Bieber, Justin 1994- (9)
Bieber, Justin 1994- creator (4)
Bieber, Justin 1994- creator composer, performer. (1)
Bieber, Justin 1994- creator performer. prf (1)

For some reason, it is now looking at the content from $e and $4, and
deciding that those fields mean it should create separate browse
entries.  I would expect that it would not use $e or $4 when
extracting a heading, and instead show the user:

Bieber, Justin 1994- (15)

I don't remember this happening before.  Is this because of the browse
improvements in 3.0?
https://evergreen-ils.org/documentation/release/RELEASE_NOTES_3_0.html#_cataloging_2

Is there a bug already for this?  Is this something that we could fix
in our local system with xpath in the authority.heading_field table in
the database?

Thanks!

  -Jane
