Describe the Feature

Address something like #90 by splitting fields with identical names.

So, if you had multiple 'sprint' fields, they would be surfaced separately (instead of coalesced) as their own columns in the daily issue field history model. These columns could then be combined by the user outside of the package. Perhaps we can make each column by unique be concatenating the field name with the unique field id (so sprint_10020, sprint_10029)

This is more ideal than the jira_field_grain variable solution because what if the two distinct-but-identical fields have concurrently active field values? Which do you choose? Do you aggregate? etc etc Lots of considerations that are unnecessary if we just keep these actually-distinct fields distinct

Describe alternatives you've considered

keeping the jira_field_grain variable

aggregating potentially totally-different field values together
