Add 'filter' attribute and external filter driver definition.

The interface is similar to the custom low-level merge drivers.

First you configure your filter driver by defining 'filter.<name>.*'
variables in the configuration.

filter.<name>.clean filter command to run upon checkin
filter.<name>.smudge filter command to run upon checkout

Then you assign filter attribute to each path, whose name
matches the custom filter driver's name.

Example:

(in .gitattributes)
*.c filter=indent

(in config)
[filter "indent"]
clean = indent
smudge = cat
