Overview
This PR introduces the ability to store the OGC filter as a generic dict as part of the

This is an interim step to which the ultimate goal is to have pycsw repository objects delegated the responsibility to parse OGC filter grammar into their specific syntax.Longer term, default/internal pycsw refactoring will occur around pyfes. This PR immediately enables any repository plugin to tie filters deep into their backend by allowing translation functionality against a Python friendly object/representation of OGC filter grammar.
