Issue Summary
A "virtual" field is a field that does not exist in the database but is exposed to other systems that call the schema. They are used by Views to support fields such as "link to node". Adding support for them in Schema API is a prerequisite for Views being able to leverage Schema API and reduce a lot of its own code requirements.
