RDA 5.7: Update X00 $c

Sacred works

O.T. and N.T. should no longer be used, but the terms should be expanded as Old Testament or New Testament.

With AACR2, a Biblical work title within an X30 field had an additional subfield containing either Old Testament or New Testament. With RDA, the Testament subfield is removed when a Biblical book is in the next subfield:

 
   original fields:
      130    0 $a Bible. $p O.T.
      630    0 $a Bible. $p N.T. $p Acts.
      730    0 $a Koran.
 
   updated fields:
      130    0 $a Bible. $p Old Testament
      630    0 $a Bible. $p Acts.
      730    0 $a Qu'ran.
