[Seaside-dev] filters initialization with request context?

Normally you should be able to access the current request context when
the filter is initialized.

Another possibility would be to do it lazily the first time the filter
is called.

It shouldn't be necessary to subclass WASession in Seaside 2.9 anymore.
