Sub-requests are created and used with two purposes; sometimes

simply to 'see' what a request would do; as to fill out an SSI,
validate access or similar - and is then discarded. And sometimes
as the precursor to becoming the actual request; e.g. when mod_dir
checks if an /index.html can be served for a '/'.

In the latter case it is important to preserve the output filters
'for real'; whereas in the first case they have to be reset to
purely the minimal proto filters (if at all). This patch instates
the output filters in 3 cases where sub-requests are/may in fact
be used as the real request later on.

This is a relatively risky change (which should not be back-ported 
without further discussion) and may break caches in combination 
with internal redirects/vary/negotiation in subtle ways.

See the thread starting at [1] and in particular the general 
concerns of rpluem at [2] with respect to sub requests 
and (fast_)internal redirects possibly needing a more 
thorough overhaul.
