net: limit BIP37 filter lifespan (active between 'filterload' and 'filterclear')

Previously, a default match-everything bloom filter was set for every peer,
i.e. even before receiving a 'filterload' message and after receiving a
'filterclear' message code branches checking for the existence of the filter
by testing the pointer "pfilter" were _always_ executed.
