Define body as a field

[seancdavis]

Building on #91, body is the one field that feels a little too magical. It just works, which is great, but maybe not entirely obvious.

Putting this issue here to discuss separately.

One thought I had was that if we pursued #91, it'd justify this move more to me. In this case, the fields definition would contain every property in the document that is generated without a preceding underscore (generated/reserved).

While I like the magic, I also wouldn't mind being more explicit in my schema definition. We could remove the bodyType option and instead have something like this:

fields: {
  title: { type: 'string', required: true },
  body: { type: 'mdx', source: 'body' }
}

This is just a first pass. TBH I don't like the shape of the API suggested above. Just something to get us thinking about this.
