Title: Add option to mark a field as null

To remove date fields from Solr when doing Atomic updates, there's need for an option to mark a field as "null" (i.e. delete a field). Currently there does not seem to be a way to do this using Solarium.

For example:
```

```

Simply leaving the field empty does not work, because it's not accepted as a valid date value.
