AVRO-2001 Adding support for doc attribute
The Avro schema and protocol
specification(http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html) allows for an
optional attribute "doc" defined as, "a JSON string describing this field for
users." Users should be able to include a doc with each field for "records"
(http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#N10085) and "enums"
(http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#N10186).
This doc attribute should be stripped when transforming into "Parsing
Canonical Form" (http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#N10815).
Currently, the Ruby Avro library
(https://github.com/apache/avro/tree/master/lang/ruby) does not support doc. It
is supported in other languages libraries, for example PHP
(https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/master/lang/php/lib/avro/schema.php#L46).
