The smudge/clean filter API expect an external process is spawned
to filter the contents for each path that has a filter defined.  A
new type of "process" filter API has been added to allow the first
request to run the filter for a path to spawn a single process, and
all filtering need is served by this single process for multiple
paths, reducing the process creation overhead.

Somehow I thought this was getting ready for 'next' but it seems
at least another round of reroll is coming?

I thought so, too, but t0021 was flaky and Jakub had a number of good 
suggestions. I just posted v9:
