Claim filtering and blocking

• Filtered claims are removed from claim search results (blockchain.claimtrie.search), they can still be resolved (blockchain.claimtrie.resolve)
• Blocked claims are not included in claim search results and cannot be resolved.

Claims that are either filtered or blocked are replaced with a corresponding error message that includes the censoring channel id in a result that would return them.

How to filter or block claims:

1. Make a channel (using lbry-sdk) and include the claim id of the channel in --filtering_channel_ids or --blocking_channel_ids used by scribe-hub and scribe-elastic-sync, depending on which you want to use the channel for. To use both blocking and filtering, make one channel for each.
2. Using lbry-sdk, repost the claim to be blocked or filtered using your corresponding channel. If you block/filter a claim id for a channel, it will block/filter all of the claims in the channel.
