Replace void* with struct mxs_filter

Browse Source 
Using an empty struct instead of void* to represent the opaque
filter and filter session types, means that C++ filter types
simply can derive from them. That brings conceptual clarity and
also means that the C++ instances can be returned from the module
callbacks without casts. When provided as argument they can be
downcast using static_cast instead of reinterpret_cast.

Similar types to be provided for routers.
