Since we've had so many issues with the filter types recently, I
think it is best to do the rename that we've been hinting at.
This follows from the "three filter types" post from rbb which
gstein and wrowe agreed was goodness (so the idea has been
reviewed).

If you had AP_FTYPE_CONTENT, you should just use AP_FTYPE_RESOURCE.
For those modules that had AP_FTYPE_HTTP_HEADER, you may want
AP_FTYPE_PROTOCOL or AP_FTYPE_CONTENT_SET.  For those filters that
deal with raw protocol issues, they should use _PROTOCOL.  For
those that don't specifically deal with protocols (such as
mod_deflate), they should use _CONTENT_SET.  -- justin
