[Orgmode] Persistent filters in Org mode

[Thomas Morgan]

Hello, Org mode hackers,

This patch defines a variable `org-agenda-persistent-filters'.
When it is set, filters persist from one agenda view to the next.

I've found this convenient when using tags for contexts like @home,
@net, etc., some of which commonly remain applicable for a while.

Thanks,
Thomas
