    Add streaming filter API · b6691092

    This introduces an API to plug custom filters to an input stream.
    
    The caller gets get_stream_filter("path") to obtain an appropriate
    filter for the path, and then uses it when opening an input stream
    via open_istream().  After that, the caller can read from the stream
    with read_istream(), and close it with close_istream(), just like an
    unfiltered stream.
    
    This only adds a "null" filter that is a pass-thru filter, but later
    changes can add LF-to-CRLF and other filters, and the callers of the
    streaming API do not have to change.
