Subject: DOCS/tech-overview.txt: add a section for the new filter framework

76276c92104c31ee936ba5c76a76072f09978c5f introduced a generic filtering
framework which replaced the separate video and audio filter chains.
Additionally, 6d36fad83c779936a012e85a1eb92ec94651c7c0 and
76e7e78ce989aad546310b9808cf7f96f23a281f made the decoder wrappers
a filter.
Add a new section to document this, and corrrect the outdated
audio/video decoder and filter info.
