Fixes

Fixes #5172

Purpose

Updates the Custom Field Constructor documentation to be more clear. Provides suggested filenames and directories so that a beginner can get started with creating custom field constructors.

If anything is still not clear, or we need further edits, let me know. I'm happy to make them.

Background Context

Outstanding issue with the documentation since October 2015. I created a minimal ("Hello Play") sample project with a minimal custom field constructor to verify the approach.
