Initial commit of the closed refs filtering module

The new refsfilter Gerrit module allows to reduce the footprint
of the Git refs advertizing phase by hiding all the refs associated
to non-live changes.

Typical scenario is a CI build system: as closed changes (merged, abandoned)
are not live anymore and would never be built, they are filtered out of
the Git advertizing phase, saving a lot of processing from both client
and server side.

Another typical scenario is Gerrit slave replication for development
purposes. Typically you do not work anymore on closed changes and
there is little or even no value in getting those refs advertized
and replicated to remote sites.
