Optional type-only matching for meta-less pipe filters

Follow-up from our chat, so you can see the actual change and decide.

The filter comparison rejects any item whose meta differs from the filter entry, so a plain 'potion' filter never catches brewed potions, and enchanted books and renamed items slip past every plain filter into overflow. Filtering on exact meta instead means spelling out every enchant and potion variant on a sign, which is not practical.

With 'filters-match-type' enabled, a filter entry that carries no item meta matches on type alone, so every variant of a diamond helmet sorts into the diamond helmet chest and all potions into the potion chest. Filter entries that do specify meta still compare it exactly. Off by default: the strict comparison is byte-for-byte unchanged unless a server opts in.

Fine to close if you'd rather leave filtering alone.
