UNIMARC heading mapping to thesaurus is read from the MARC bibliographic
frameworks. On the other hand, MARC21 has them hardcoded in
`C4::Heading::MARC21`.

This has the side effect of not letting the linker tools honor the linking
configuration from the frameworks. For example, if you define your own
thesaurus `CEPAL_TOPIC` which you maintain with your own tools/process, and
link it to `650$a`, running the linker will still look for `TOPIC_TERM`
yielding bad results.

We should have an implementation that:

* Allows opting in to a UNIMARC-like behavior
* Has a fallback mechanism for not-configured mappings so we wouldn't expect
behavior change besides the frameworks-defined mappings
* It doesn't reinvent the wheel on an old library
