Allow setFieldValue to accept a dotted path ...

e.g. you can do setFieldValue('replicator.1.foo', 'bar') to update the foo field on the second replicator set to bar

This uses the eventual underscore 'set' method from jashkenas/underscore#2961. Once it's merged we can call the method directly and not need to include these files.
