LiftFilter is indeed only extending ServletFilterProvider which is
oriented obviously for JEE servlet filter processing (we do this for
backward compatibility reasons). ServletFilterProvider is also
extending HTTPProvider which knows about LiftServlet.
ServletFilterProvider just calls the service function and from here
the LiftServlet gets called. HTTPProvider trait has no knowledge about
servlets API, neither LiftServlet which is not a real JEE servlet.
