I thought I could do that quickly, till I realized there is a minor
nuisance:

There are several functions / commands that could benefit from
binding beginning/end-of-defun-function to bibtex-beginning/end-of-entry.
Yet for historical reasons bibtex-beginning/end-of-entry behave
slightly different from the `standard' beginning/end-of-defun.
So the proper solution will be to make these bibtex functions behave
similar to beginning/end-of-defun
This will require to check also the internal usage of
bibtex-beginning/end-of-entry by bibtex-mode, which is just a bit
more work...
