bug: move-beginning-of-line fails to respect fields in custom buffers

[Miles Bader]

This worked for a long time, so the recent screwing around with
move-beginning-of-line apparently broke it.

That line looks correct; the problem seems to be that
`constrain-to-field' only pays attention to text-properties, not
overlays (whereas most of the field functions pay attention to both).

I've committed a change to make constrain-to-field use
Fget_char_property instead of Fget_text_property, which appears to fix
this problem.

Thanks.

Could you verify that the doc string and Lisp Manual doc
for constrain-to-field are correct?
