Create a mask for the column data that should be deleted in each field.

This is a bit tricky. We could theoretically have some columns that should be set to empty and others with valid info that should not be emptied out. But if delta values > X are to be wiped out, they need to wipe out even columns that still have values. And the NULL values in these columns after the alteration may be enough to make the item 'empty', as defined by hook_content_is_empty(), even if some columns still have values, so all these things need to be tested.
